Variant Family Forms

Summary
Issues and problems brought up by families living non-traditional or alternative lifestyles are examined in this volume. Various alternative lifestyles are covered, adolescent parents, gay/lesbian families, step-parents, families with adopted children, widows and widowers, remarried parents, and those who co-habit. In addition, contributors outline modes of treatment for each alternative lifestyle presented along with suggestions for future research. The volume concludes by examining what policies have been - or need to be - enacted in relation to the growing population with alternative family living conditions.
