Volume IV, Issue 2: Fall 2007
The 21st Century Family This issue of Greater Good gets past overheated rhetoric to discover what recent research shows about how the American family is changing, and how this transformation has impacted all of our lives. Some of the contributors to this issue are famed scholars who have studied the family extensively; others are ordinary people who have seen their typically atypical families go through some extensive changes. What they have in common is a willingness to confront these changes head-on and seek real solutions to the problems they confront. Their essays offer suggestions for how contemporary families can still thrive during this period of intense change.  Download PDF
