Reviews
This book does a great job of speaking of each theory--functionalism, social exchange, symbolic interaction, life course, etc.--in an easy to understand, digestible way for students., This text offers a deeper level of theoretical analysis than other textbook options. It is particularly helpful for those preparing for graduate education., It uses scientific language that is necessary to introduce students to the frameworks of theories in general, as well as those that are specifically used within the field of marital and familial studies., We chose the text because it covered the frameworks that we had already deemed appropriate. We also liked the assumption/concept/prop format.
