A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is a singular pleasure to present a book of such excellence as The Family, Society, and the I ndividual. It is reliable and authoritative, as a first-rate work of science must be. This will come as no surprise to students of the family who are familiar with Dr. Kephart sown important scientific contributions. It is admirably clear. Few textbooks combine such a readable style with meaningful content. The student who uses this book will not bog down in it. It is comprehensive. Here will be found all the topics which are ordinarily considered in courses on the sociology of the family. The book will serve the institutional courses very well indeed. But included are enough practical topics so that the book can also be used in many socalled functional courses. This book will appeal to those teachers of functional courses who want an effective theoretical frame of reference and who are willing to sacrifice attention to some practical problems like housing and budgeting in order to get it. The book is unified by a central thesis, namely, that problems of the family often represent a clash between the needs of the individual and the requirements of the social order, and that it is only when these two forces are in balance that maximum social integration can be effected. Whatever contributes to the conservation of the family, therefore, also contributes to the well-being of both individual and society. This thesis is not just enunciated in an early chapter and then ignored. It pervades the entire book and integrates it. M. F.
