All Our Families: New Policies for a New Century : A Report of the Berkeley Family Forum

Rating:
Summary: Well researched essays on the realities of the "now" family.
Review: These editors and authors have pulled together essays covering the "real' and "now" families of the 21st century, together with their real issues. My interest in this book comes from three angles; as a librarian and selector of material for a university library collection on pastoral counselling; as a Masters student looking specifically at stepfamilies; and as a private counsellor. This book incorporates, for the student, counsellor and client, valuable and realistic information on the ways things are in families, and ultimately therefore windows of opportunity through to working with issues of the 21st century family. I recommend this book as a means of gathering valuable information on families and thereby offering useful basis for working with clients and issues.
