The Family in Perspective: A Fourfold Analysis

The third section delves into the psychological and emotional dynamics of the family, exploring issues such as communication, conflict resolution, and attachment. Finally, the fourth section looks at the social and political context of the family, examining how it is affected by larger societal forces such as economics, politics, and technology. Throughout the book, Kenkel draws on a wide range of research and scholarship to provide a nuanced and insightful analysis of the family in all its complexity.
