Families as Relationships
The field of family studies has recently seen the development of a more specialized focus on the character of particular relationships.

Traditionally, at least in western societies, families are defined in terms of two parents living together with responsibility for rearing their children. However, these so-called nuclear families are becoming a rarer phenomenon.

Family Relationships in the Second Half of Life
How can we improve and enrich our family relationships? Even people who are outwardly confident, successful in their professional lives and have rewarding friendships can be undone by uncomfortable, cold or combative relationships with their siblings, parents, children and grandkids. But at midlife, many people are finally ready to take on the slings and arrows and set things right, whether with a resentful child, a critical parent or a competitive sister. One motivated person can initiate lasting change. However, someone has to take the first step onto the high road. When we do this, it's important to remember that it's often not what we communicate that counts, but how we say it and what we intentionally don’t say. This eBook from PBS and Next Avenue offers up concrete, actionable advice for healing and enjoying our most critical family relationships. By enriching these, we boost the amount and quality of love in our lives as well as our peace of mind, and we ensure that loneliness can be the least of our worries in older age.

Families, Relationships and Intimate Life, Second Edition is a thorough exploration of the controversies, contradictions and broad patterns that characterize contemporary relationships and families.

Theoretical perspectives including functionalism, feminist approaches and reflexive modernization are also clearly outlined. Once the groundwork has been established this book delves into examining the complexity of contemporary family life, covering key elements in the life course - childhood, youth, partnering, parenting and ageing and both the positive and negative sides of family life including intimacy and violence.
Tools for Assessing Family Relationships
Recent evidence from clinical practice and research in the field of Clinical Family Psychology highlights the importance of finding reliable tools and methods for assessing couple and family relationships. Expectations from both clinical services and academics are that professionals can collect reliable information on family relationships, even if in daily clinical practice this information is underutilized. These expectations could be fulfilled by the common use of validated measures, tools, and methods that guarantee reliable data about family relationships. However, practitioners infrequently use these kinds of measures, tools, and methods either because of a lack of knowledge or because the tools are not readily accessible. Clear instructions on how to properly assess couple/family relationships within daily clinical practice are needed, especially since psychologists work in different clinical settings and treat different populations.
