Excerpt

This chapter addresses the challenges posed by major family transitions for child, adolescent, and family functioning. A brief overview places family transitional dilemmas in broad societal context. Normative and nonnormative family developmental transitions are examined, with focus on the effects of highly disruptive transitions with death; divorce and stepfamily formation; immigration; multicrisis families; and foster care. Clinical guidelines are offered to buffer stresses and strengthen resilience in youth and their families for optimal adaptation.
