Parent-Child Relations by Jerry J Bigner
For undergraduate courses in parenting.
The revised, shorter, new edition of Parent-Child Relations: An Introduction to Parenting features a revamped approach to this research-based text on parent-child relations. Using family systems, as well as systemic family development theory, this text explores how parent-child relations change in tandem with developmental changes occurring with children, adults, and the wider family system. Readers will encounter a broad range of issues such as diversity in family structures, multiracial families, adoption, gay and lesbian parents, and family therapy. This comprehensive treatment prepares students for their roles as parents and working with families.
