By Far The Greatest And Most Informative Text I Have Ever Had

This text is both in-depth and well-informed. Nearly every faucet of the "family experience" is covered here, as well as looks at a variety of different cultures and their contrasting views to our own societal expectations. Taking this class and reading this text was probably the best thing I did in college, and I was neither a psychology nor a sociology major. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the subject matter, employing what I have learned from this book to everyday life has helped me immensely, as well as my friends whom I regularly supply with advice. This is one textbook you won't want to sell back, and very worth the obviously hefty textbook fee.
