Anotace:	In the search for the causes of and solutions to social problems, no social institution has been allocated such a central role as the family. <B>Social Problems and the Family</B> examines how `the family' is constituted both in explanations of social problems and in modes of state intervention. In doing so, it shows how public anxieties about the well-being of the family reveal normally implicit assumptions about the relationship between this institution and wider society. <P></P><P>The contributors consider some of the most controversial social policy issues in Britain today:</P><P></P><P><B>·</B> domestic violence <B>·</B> child abuse <B>·</B> old age <B>·</B> mental health <B>·</B> juvenile delinquency <B>·</B> poverty and homelessness</P> <P></P><P>In examining each of these social problems, the contributors address key definitional issues, assess traditional and alternative theoretical perspectives, and survey different modes of intervention. By exploring how notions of the `normal' family are framed in explanations of and interventions in social problems, the contributors show just how pervasive and complex is the state regulaton of the family in contemporary society.</P><P></P><P>With its illuminating interdisciplinary approach, <B>Social Problems and the Family </B>will be an essential textbook for students and practitioners in all fields of family-related social work, social policy and social science disciplines. It is a Course Book for The Open University course D311 <I>Family Life and Social Policy</I>.</P> <P></P><P></P><P></P>
