Description

Now featured in a Classics Edition with a new Foreword by Donald Boch, The Expanded Family Life Cycle integrates theory and research with clinical guidelines and cases by two of the most-respected authors, teachers, and clinicians in the field of family therapy–Betty Carter and Monica McGoldrick.

This classic Family Therapy text continues to provide “a new and more comprehensive way to think about human development and the life cycle,” reflecting changes in society away from orientation toward the nuclear family, toward a more diverse and inclusive definition of “family.”

This expanded view of the family includes the impact of issues at multiple levels of the human system: the individual, family households, the extended family, the community, the cultural group, and the larger society. The text features a ground-breaking integration of individual male and female development in systemic context; our increasing racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity; the emergence of men's movements and issues; the growing visibility of lesbian and gay families; and the neglected area of social class.

This product is an alternate version of:
McGoldrick, Carter, Garcia-Preto & chapter, Expanded Family Life Cycle, The: Individual, Family, and Social Perspectives, 4/E

Features

Boasts a lively and dynamic writing style, coupled with contributions by some of the best-known therapists and experts in family therapy, integrating theory and research with clinical guidelines and cases.

Features a wide perspective of family therapy that includes diversity of family forms and lifestyles, as well as cultural diversity.

A broad textual focus highlights the reciprocity between two neglected areas:
- How the individual self develops in the context of relationships that are shaped by community and social norms, which greatly influence the individual's degree of autonomy and emotional connectedness, his or her values, beliefs, dreams, spirituality, use of time and energy, and connection to work, politics, and community.
- Specific ways that the norms of community and the larger society—especially regarding race, class, gender, culture, and sexual orientation—affect individuals and their family relationships. The text offers numerous ideas for dealing with these dimensions in clinical work.

Maintains a feminist and cultural perspective throughout.

Contains chapters on men's issues, individual development, a clinical method based on Bowen's coaching model, class, violence, migration, lesbians and gays, siblings, and never-married adults.

New To This Edition

New forward by Donald Boch highlights the continued relevance of this text to today's and tomorrow's practitioners.

The Classics Edition of The Expanded Family Life Cycle, with a new foreword by Donald Bloch, continues to provide "a new and more comprehensive way to think about human development and the life cycle," reflecting society's shift away from the nuclear family toward a more diverse and inclusive definition of family. Theory and research are integrated with clinical guidelines and cases by two of the most respected authors, teachers, and clinicians in the field of family therapy—Betty Carter and Monica McGoldrick.

“This text is a classic in the field of family psychology and family therapy. It provides a framework in which current family life cycle stressors, family intergenerational history, and current sociocultural factors are beautifully integrated and applied to an understanding of family functioning. Further, it is one of the few texts I know that can span undergraduate and graduate education, providing information relevant for both beginning and more advanced students. The information is presented clearly and is written by experienced clinicians who supply lots of clinical cases to exemplify the points they are trying to make, resulting in absorbing reading. I have been using this text for the past ten years or so, and plan to use it indefinitely.”
—Leslie Brody, Boston University

“The text's primary theme is diversity. The contents cover a broad range of topics from Latino family life cycle to gay and lesbian life cycle. Issues such as death, migration, violence, and gender add to the breadth and interest of this text and it position it to be useful to many....The text is easy to understand and engaging,...is written with clarity and an excellent balance between knowledge and application. The case illustrations throughout the book are helpful in providing an illustration of the concepts and holding the interest of the reader.”
—Kathleen Briggs, Oklahoma State University

“The text is well written, which makes it a pleasure to read. I find the use of metaphors and analogies very effective....The Adam and Eve reference in the conclusion of chapter one is a favorite quote of mine regarding the timelessness of family violence....The chapter on self in context is particularly valuable. It introduces some key concepts regarding developmental and social issues relevant to gay and lesbian youth that continue throughout the text....The Carter and McGoldrick text is a valuable component of students' foundation studies related to family issues.”
—Margarete Parrish, University of Maryland, Baltimore
