About this title

Review:

Scholars and students alike will appreciate this highly accessible volume. The authors masterfully weave multiple perspectives together to cogently capture the state of the art on family conflict.

This is an excellent piece of well-balanced, integrative scholarship. The writing is precise yet engaging and the book will be an excellent introduction to family conflict for people new to the area and a useful resource for people already familiar with the topic.
