""The Family in Perspective: A Fourfold Analysis"" by William F. Kenkel is a comprehensive study of the family unit. The book is divided into four sections, each of which offers a different perspective on the family. The first section examines the historical and cultural context of the family, exploring how it has evolved over time and how it is viewed in different societies. The second section focuses on the structural and functional aspects of the family, looking at the roles and responsibilities of family members and how they interact with each other. 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. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the role of the family in society and the challenges it faces in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
