Description

Diversity in Single-Parent Families: Working from Strength is designed to fill gaps in current literature.

The book presents strength-based service delivery options for single-parent families, which have been under-represented in literature and research.

Research and appropriate service responses are organized by race/ethnicity, gender, economic status, sexual orientation, structure, and disability. The editors begin by discussing the socio-economic issues impacting single-parent families along with a framework for strength-based practice.

The following chapters focus on communities that have been marginalized and overlooked.

For each community implications for strength-based practice are summarized. The editors recognize a broader need to present factual data as a base for decreasing assumptive biases about single-parent family structures.

This book could be used in micro and macro practice courses, courses on multicultural practice, and courses focusing on families and/or children.
