Have not finished reading, but so far have found it very readable and up to standards of bachelors or graduate nursing programs. Nicely covers issues of families and health including how they are affected by socio-economic and cultural factors, how persons define family networks, and the role of nurses with regard to caring for families. Also does a thorough job discussing the theoretical basis of family nursing, gives numerous examples of current research and suggests areas in need of further research.

I used this text to develop curriculum on families. I found it practical, easy to understand and thorough when discussing families. Good generalist text on families.

Got this book for my wife, shes is an RN and she says this book is an ok reference book
