Reviews"This book makes another significant and unique contribution in this important area. The editor ... states unequivocally that the aim of the book is to extend research on black family life and to stimulate additional research which will provide new insights. ... [Other] anticipated outcomes include dispelling misperceptions and correcting the imbalance of negative images of blacks presented by previous studies on marriage and family life among this group. In these primary and secondary objectives, the editor has succeeded and ... achieved even more." Social Casework, "Obudho, a social psychologist, has edited a series of empirical and theoretical papers analyzing black marriage and approaches to counseling black families. ... The book's strengths are the coverage of intact families and the focus on analyzing internal dynamics instead of presenting mere demographic descriptions. ...the book is well organized and has substantial references. The paucity of literature on intact black families makes this book of interest to sociologists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, clinicians, and ethnic researchers, and it is an appropriate acquisition for libraries serving these populations. Upper-division undergraduate level and above." Choice
