Michael Lamb has been at work on important issues in child and family development for a long time. In this latest edited volume he has brought together an outstanding roster of colleagues to review the research on parenting and child development in the context of families that diverge from the format and configuration 'traditional' to 20th-century American society.
—Contemporary Psychology
Overall, the current volume leaves the reader with a sense of having learned a great deal, renewed insight into the dangers of stereotyping, respect for human adaptability, and the realization of how much more remains to be learned.

Parenting and Child Development in 'Nontraditional' Families is the long-awaited sequal to Michael Lamb's groundbreaking book Nontraditional Families: Parenting and Child Development.....I can thoroughly recommend this book. Each of the chapters is an up-to-date and succinct review written by experts in the field....The book will be of use to students on advanced undergraduate and post-graduate courses specializing in psychosocial development. Furthermore, it should attract interest from social science courses on the family and family therapy. I would recommend the book to any social scientist wishing to broaden their knowledge of the diversity of family forms in western society in the late 20th century.
