Riassunto

Handbook of Families and Health: Interdisciplinary Perspectives presents state-of-the-art summaries of research related to couple, marital, and family influences on health. Editors D. Russell Crane and Elaine S. Marshall, along with a distinguished group of contributors across various disciplines, bring complementary perspectives to a wide range of families and health issues. A major goal of this Handbook is to highlight common issues, concerns, and goals across diverse fields and the benefits of bringing multiple perspectives to these issues. A significant portion of the book is devoted to interventions to improve family health.

Recensione:

"...Though primarily intended as a source and a review of the literature for scholars and investigators...it has much to offer clinicians. It should be of particular value to those who work in the areas of chronic medical illness and mental disorders, death and dying, and health care of minority groups and underserved populations... In summary, this is one of the better works in a long line of scholarly compendiums of research and reviews on the relationship among families, health, and health care. The book moves the field along for investigators and policymakers and is of reasonable interest to clinicians." (Thomas L. Schwenk, M.D. NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE 2006-04-20)

"Crane and Marshall have edited a rich text of chapters. Geared toward students, researchers, and practitioners from different health-related disciplines, the text brings attention to an understudied and at times undervalued component of healthcare-the family. Major strengths of this book include the range of issues covered, a highly readable writing style (which is often hard to achieve in an edited text), wide representation of different disciplines, and a strong focus on the family as the unit of care. The editing is so skillful that readers will value it as a resource and may find themselves asking at the end, "When it the next edition coming out and how can I get my work included?" (Jennifer Hodgson 2007-07-20)
