Families with Adolescents:Bridging the Gaps between Theory, Research, and Practice

The “Families with Adolescents" implies concentration on the family as a whole, whereas the latter makes the adolescent as the central point of focus. Therefore, instead of the typical biological (puberty and physical development) and individual developmental (identity, cognitive growth, and emotional maturity) issues found in texts on adolescents, this book shines a spotlight on subject matter such as family processes, family structure, family conict, and family problem solving, as well as focuses on variables that reect interactions within and among different dyads in the family such as the parent–adolescent, interparental, and sibling subsystems.
