About this product

Product Information

In Family Trouble, a compelling portrait of upheaval in family life, sociologist Ara Francis tells the stories of middle-class men and women whose children face significant medical, psychological, or social challenges. Children's problems, she finds, begin a chain of disruption that touches virtually every aspect of the parents' lives, leading them to reevaluate deeply held assumptions about their own sense of self and what it means to achieve the good life.

Reviews
Family Trouble offers rich, empirically based insights into the everyday, relational and emotional processes that mark the distinctive forms of 'concerted cultivation' pursued by contemporary middle-class American families with 'problemed' children., An exquisite and magnificent piece of sociological scholarship, Family Trouble is clear, interesting, and highly engaging. Francis's study and analysis are rich and nuanced as she covers the many dimensions of the phenomenon she calls 'family trouble.', Family Trouble  offers rich, empirically based insights into the everyday, relational and emotional processes that mark the distinctive forms of 'concerted cultivation' pursued by contemporary middle-class American families with 'problemed' children., This smart, engaging book demonstrates the complicated nature of parenthood - a salient identity for most adults in the United States today. Especially impressive is Francis's ability to weave through multiple sociological constructs and subfields, including medicalization, stigma, identity, emotion work, gender, and disability.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
