Beschreibung
Stepfamily Relationships: Development, Dynamics, and Interventions offers what has so far been missing in the field - a comprehensive, multidisciplinary text that provides a state-of-the-art look at this important facet of family study. This volume examines the variety of relationships within step-households as well as between households, focusing on internal family dynamics while maintaining a cultural and historical viewpoint. The diversity and complexity of families is emphasized throughout, including gay and lesbian stepfamilies, stepfamilies of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds, and stepfamilies across the life course. It will be a welcome text and reference for all those who study and work with stepfamilies and families in general.
We (Ganong and Coleman) have been known for 25+ years as two of the foremost international experts on This book will be more comprehensive than existing books on stepfamilies. Consequently, it will be THE resource for students and scholars. Besides including cutting-edge
ideas, our books are readable for undergraduate students and lay
audiences. This book will appeal to
diverse audiences, ranging from scholars, clinicians, and graduate
students, to undergraduates and stepfamily members. The 2004 book influenced authors
of subsequent books on stepfamilies.
This edition will be seen as the same type of definitive summary of
what is known about stepfamilies. There has not been a scholarly
general book written about stepfamilies in over 5 years. This will be a timely publication. The 2004 volume was favorably
reviewed and has been widely cited.

From the reviews:
"Anyone who studies stepfamilies should read this book. It provides as comprehensive a review as possible of the explosion of research on stepfamilies in recent years, with 30 pages of references in very small type. … A rather interesting feature of the book is the attention given to clinical research on stepfamilies. … this book serves well as a source of reference for family scholars, a basic text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, and a stimulus for further research." (Elizabeth Thomson, European Journal of Population, Vol. 23, 2007)
