More than a broad and general overview, Introduction to Family Development provides an excellent introduction to numerous distinct relationship topics. The text incorporates thought provoking reading selections that address demographic transitions, marriage, remarriage, and cohabitation. It also addresses culture, social processes in the construction of gender, stepfamilies, love, family communication, child abuse, intimate partner violence, health, and stress. Two readings are devoted exclusively to theory and theoretical perspectives but many of the readings clearly specify the theoretical framework guiding the ideas. This gives students the opportunity to learn how a given theory can be applied to more than one topic. Introducing students to primary research literature promotes discussions about how data are gathered, and how findings, tables, and figures are interpreted. This textbook is appropriate for introductory and midlevel courses. It can also be used as a supplement to more traditional textbooks. Comprehensive in scope but manageable for first year students, Introduction to Family Development addresses family, family development, and family functioning from the perspectives of scholars in the fields of sociology, psychology, and family studies. The book serves as a foundational text that prepares students for later, more content-specific courses on family issues. Chalandra M. Bryant earned her Ph.D. in child development and family relationships in 1996 at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Bryant is currently a professor of human development and family science at the University of Georgia, where she teaches courses in family development, intimate relationships, and family theories. Dr. Bryant has served on the editorial board of the Journal of Family Theory and Review, and her work has been published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, Journal of Family Psychology, and Personal Relationships. She earned the Outstanding Young Professional Award, presented by the University of Texas, Texas Exes Alumni Association.

"The book is well written and the theorists and their respective work are well-presented and clearly explained. . . . As a text dealing with the historical overview of major theorists and their work in human development over the last century or so, it is extremely strong and could be widely used in a variety of both undergraduate and graduate courses." —Ann C. Diver-Stamnes, Humboldt State University "In general, I found the websites and references listed at the end of each chapter to be very interesting and useful for taking students beyond what is in the text." —Jane Ledingham, University of Ottawa "A fine choice for a classic theories course, and I believe that the level of presentation would be appropriate for advanced undergraduate or graduate students. . . . The up-to-date web sites at the end of each section are a definite plus. The choice of sites is excellent." —Cosby Steele Rogers, Virginia Tech An Introduction to Theories of Human Development examines the development process, looking at the series of changes that occur as a result of an interaction between biological and environmental factors. Why might our behavior as an adult be so different from when we were infants? Why and how does one stage of development follow the next? Are the changes that we experience abrupt in nature or smooth and predictable? Author Neil J. Salkind reflects on such critical questions to help readers understand what happens along the way as one develops from infancy through later life. This book provides a comprehensive view of the primary theoretical models of human development including those from the biological, psychoanalytic, behavioral, and cognitive developmental perspectives. Along with a brief discussion of a historical background for each of these approaches, An Introduction to Theories of Human Development examines the application of these theories to various aspects of human development, such as the effectiveness of early intervention, individual differences, adolescence, and sociobiology. Features of this text: A final, integrative chapter compares the various theories presented in the book using Murry Sidman′s model of six criteria for judging a theory to help develop students′ skills for critically assessing theory. Classic approaches to understanding human behavior across the lifespan are also examined. Pedagogical features such as chapter opening quotes, boxed highlights, key terms, a glossary, and websites for further reading enhance student understanding of everyday human behavior. An Introduction to Theories of Human Development is an accessible text for advanced undergraduate students in the social and behavioral sciences including such fields as psychology, education, human services, nursing, sociology, social welfare, and human development and family studies.

Family Theories: An Introduction by James M. White, Todd F. Martin, and new co-author Kari Adamsons provides an incisive, thorough primer to current theories of the family that balances the diversity and richness of a broad scope of scholarly work in a concise manner. This best-selling text draws upon eight major theoretical frameworks developed by key social scientists to explain variation in family life. These frameworks include social exchange and choice, symbolic-interaction, family life course development, systems, conflict, feminist, ecological, and functional theories. This new Fifth Edition includes suggestions for integrating theory to guide a research program and more applications for those going on to careers in the helping professions. With an increased focus on both classical theories as well as contemporary and emerging theories, this text challenges students to think about how families and family theories have changed over the last 70 years as well as where family scholarship is headed.
