The family is in trouble! That much every student of the family, and of socity, is able to agree upon, no matter where they stand on the political spectrum. It is a bit more difficult to find agreement on where exactly to pinpoint the trouble. Whatever way you look at it, the family has been fractured, in more ways than one. This single-authored volume examines both the historical and current concepts and definitions of the family, and focuses on the public policy consequences of the changing patterns of familial interaction and function. Canadian policies concerning families have become so complicated that the definition of spouse in the 1994 federal income guide takes up a good portion of the page. As families have evolved over the past 100 years, our policies have failed to keep up with the rapid changes occurring within the family, and what we now define as family. This book is intended for students studying families in the departments of sociology, women's studies, social work, and possibly education.
