Excerpt
Major transitions in family life pose significant challenges for child and family functioning and well-being. In this chapter, I provide a brief overview that 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 due to death, divorce and stepfamily formation, immigration, multistress conditions, and foster care. Clinical guidelines are offered to buffer stresses and strengthen resilience in youth and their families to enhance adaptation.
