In Advancing Family Theories, James M. White makes a compelling case for the role of theory in family studies. He examines how models and metaphors shape our understanding of family dynamics across cultural and social contexts.
The book delves into two major contemporary frameworks—rational choice theory and transition theory—highlighting their strengths and limitations. It also explores meta-theoretical questions such as the balance between understanding and explanation in social science research.
Readers will gain a roadmap for developing research questions, selecting relevant theories, and applying abstract concepts to specific family behaviors. This text is ideal for graduate seminars and advanced courses in family theory and methods.
