The contemporary American family : a dialectical perspective on communication and relationships /

Written to expand the definition of the contemporary American family to be more inclusive, this text approaches diversity as the norm and does not assume conventional family values. The theoretical position is the dialectical approach, which assumes paradox and relational tension as normal.
