"The different topics and perspecitives should be of interest to a wide range of family scholars and pracitioners working with families. In particular, the inclusion of clinical issues broadens the book's appeal. The book is international in scope.... The articles are well written; the book is well organized. Summing up: Highly recommended. Students, reseachers, faculty, professionals." (Choice, August 2009) "…is an important contribution to the literature about stepfamilies and is one of the few to take an international perspective. I enjoyed reading this book. Overall this is a volume that one should have on one's shelf. It provides a rich view of the research and scholarship on modern stepfamilies. The handbook clearly demonstrates why we need to continue to focus on this important family form, as stepfamilies will be with us in growing numbers over the next decades." (PsycCRITIQUES, 6/17/09)"This work looks at stepfamilies from many different perspectives. Each article is well written and heavily researched with current article citations. This allows one to find, in a convenient source, a wealth of information on stepfamilies that should generate questions for future research. This will be of interest to most libraries supporting studies in the family." (ARBAonline, August 2008)
