Families Under Stress

Families Under Stress explores the adaptation of families in a downtown community to changes in the work and community environment over a period of nearly twenty years. The author looks at changes in job satisfaction, social mobility, family-work tension, marital discord, sex-roles, education, religious and community ties, race relations, and political participation. The study has important implications for public policy with respect to education, employment, community organization and the provision of community services.
