Anotace:	This introductory textbook presents an accessible, interdisciplinary account of how 'the family' is constituted in the 'public' and 'private' spheres.Often lauded as the bedrock of society and as a safe haven from the pressures of the 'external' world, 'the family' can also be a site of conflict, oppression and destructive relationships. This text outlines the tensions that exist between the dominant assumptions of state and society and the lived realities and everyday experiences of family life.Drawing on a wide range of theoretical perspectives from sociology, social policy, psychology and psychoanalysis this book examines critically the assumptions about 'the family' that are embedded in social policy, law and political discourse. Understanding the Family reveals that such assumptions fail to recognize a marked diversity of family forms in contemporary society and also ignore the complex and myraid ways in which family life comes to be experienced. The book introduces students to the often competing and contradictory roles that 'the family' and its members are expected to play.This text provides an integrated and accessible set of teaching material, which will encourage students to develop a clear and critical understanding of the family in contemporary society.
