Abstract:
With a focus on multicultural competence through diverse contexts and examples, Families in Motion: Dynamics in Diverse Contexts explores the complexities of the family regarding roles, functions, and development in a way that is approachable for students. Grounded in theory and using 40 years of academic experience, author Clara Gerhardt guides readers through concepts of family theories and examines the ever-changing movement, communication, and conditions of both the family as a system and each member within the system.
