Marriage and Family in a Changing Society

James M. Henslin

4.9/5 (16596 ratings)

Description:Unusually wide-ranging and contemporary in approach, this fresh and humane collection leads the student to a realistic understanding of marriage and the family today, with its often unanticipated problems and pleasures. The book's organization parallels the major events in the student's life, from the premarital stage (topics include the romantic ideal of love, sex-role socialization, dating, and mate selection) through the marital realities: role adjustment, sexuality, dual-career partners, conflict, and the transition to parenthood. Divorce, widowhood, and pathological relationships in marriage are maturely presented, and the three final sections project the future of marriage with suggestions for possible improvements in this troubled yet durable institution. The most controversial and disturbing issues in marriage today—marital rape, legal problems of cohabitation (the Lee Marvin case), battered children, wife abuse, marital depression, the chances for successful remarriage, and marital counseling—are dealt with honestly and directly. Henslin's positive yet realistic attitude is reflected in his critical introductions, which do not summarize the readings but pinpoint major concepts and provide theoretical perspectives on the topics covered. JAMES M. HENSLIN is the author or editor of numerous books, including Social Problems in American Society, The Sociology of Sex, Deviant Lifestyles, Down to Earth Sociology, and Introducing Sociology. He is Professor of Sociology at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
