Hanson (special education, San Francisco State U.) and Lynch (special education, San Diego State U.) present a text for new and future early interventionists, social service and health care providers, and educators on working effectively with the diversity of family types in contemporary American society. Combining theoretical and practical perspectives, the authors focus on increasing professionals' and organizations' capacity to function in more family- centered ways, in contrast to the prescriptive or directive models favored in the past. Coverage includes an overview of contemporary family issues, frameworks, and functions; families and disabilities; risk and resilience; poverty; addiction and violence; building family- professional partnerships; and strategies for effective communication.
