This life-span approach to parent-child relations gives readers a comprehensive, contemporary look at parent theory, research, and applications, as well as numerous historical and cultural contexts that affect parent-child relations. It covers every stage of development, including older parents and their adult children, and uses an inclusive approach that looks at a variety of differing family contexts, such as foster families, military families, and families with an LGBT member, as well as the influence of culture and ethnicity on family beliefs and behaviors.
