Integrating the latest data and emphasizing inclusivity throughout, Cohen/Strong's THE MARRIAGE & FAMILY EXPERIENCE: INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS IN A CHANGING SOCIETY brings together all elements of the course -- intimate relationships, family policy and family issues. Balancing an academic and practical approach, it presents a sociological and family studies base enhanced by perspectives from anthropology, history, psychology, journalism, literature, economics and gender studies. The 14th edition retains a progressive approach to diversity while remaining rooted in a positive, pro-family perspective. It explores recent research on adoptive parenting, the transgender experience, gay and lesbian families, communication and conflict resolution, the influence of popular culture and more. Real-life examples and a focus on self-assessment encourage students to think for themselves. Also available: MindTap.
