Culture, class, siblings, divorce, sexual orientation, substance abuse, violence are a few. The reason I say this book is radical is that, at the beginning of the book, it seemed ultra-feminist. I consider myself pretty liberal and open minded, but being constantly hit over the head with "Women have it so bad compared to men" a million times in one paragraph (maybe an exageration), I had trouble reading it. Thankfully, the book did not stay that way the entire time, and there was some very interesting things to learn. A bigger problem I felt was how outdated the research in the book was (ready for a new edition!). And, for all that it said about multiculturalism--there was NO mention of Native Americans in ANY chapter. Talk about marginalizing a group. In the chapter that was devoted to culture and the life cycle, the authors even broke out an "Irish" and "Jewish" group...but NOTHING on Native Amricans...this is the more unforgivable thing...

Now featured in a Classics Edition with a new Foreword by Donald Boch, The Expanded Family Life Cycle integrates theory and current research with clinical guidelines and cases by two of the most-respected authors, teachers, and clinicians in the field of family therapy, Betty Carter and Monica McGoldrick. This classic Family Therapy text provides "and more comprehensive way to think about human development and the life cycle," reflecting changes in society away from orientation toward the nuclear family, toward a more diverse and inclusive definition of "family." This expanded view of the family includes the impact of issues at multiple levels of the human system: the individual, family households, the extended family, the community, the cultural group, and the larger society. The text features a ground-breaking integration of individual male and female development in systemic context; our increasing racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity; the emergence of men's movements and issues; the growing visibility of lesbian and gay families; and the neglected area of social class.
