Family troubles?:
Exploring changes and challenges in the family lives of children and young people
Edited by Jane Ribbens McCarthy, Carol-Ann Hooper and Val Gillies
In this important, timely and thought-provoking publication, a wide range of contributors explore how "troubles" feature in "normal" families, and how the "normal" features in "troubled" families.
"This brilliant book provides a wealth of insights that make it essential reading for academics and students across the social sciences, and for policy makers and practitioners." Harry Ferguson, Professor of Social Work, University of Nottingham
