Families and Social Networks - Robert M. Milardo - Paperback

Families and Social Networks, published in cooperation with the National Council on Family Relations, examines both the structures in which family relationships are embedded and the network interaction of those structures. The contributors address issues in conceptualization and measuremeent, as well as a variety of theoretical, empirical and applied topics from a social psychological perspective. The first chapter presents an overview of theory on family and social networks and develops a conceptual framework for several distinct types of networks. Additional chapters cover families at different stages of the life cycle and refer to different types of network qualities. Finally, the consequences of social networks for the design and implementation of family therapy are analyzed. Family scholars will find the book of inestimable value in pursuing the as yet many unanswered questions in family analysis. Clinicians will find vital guidelines for applying insights from network analysis to their work.Milardo, Robert M. is the author of 'Families and Social Networks - Robert M.
