| Description: |
This text traces the roots of the postmodern family back to the failure of the modern nuclear family and its institutions to meet the needs of parents. It examines recent changes to the family due to such failures, and analyzes the effect that such changes have had on the children involved. |
| Synopsis: |
What has happened to the American family in the last few decades? And what are these changes doing to our children? David Elkind, author of "The Hurried Child", attempts to answer such questions. This book - the culmination of his inquiry - puts together all the puzzling facts and conflicting accounts to show us what the American family has become. |
