Description

Pets and the Family, part of the Marriage and Family Review Series (Vol 9), provides a comprehensive look at the bond between animals and humans. This work summarizes recent research regarding the interactions between pets and their owners, looking specifically at the social and emotional benefits that families can gain from pet ownership. Social and health scientists examine the high prevalence of pets in U.S. households. The text covers several key areas, including the relationship between pets and children, the connection between pets and the elderly, and how animals act as factors of stability or instability within family dynamics. It also explores the role of pets as therapy for family members who are ill, grieving, or disabled. This carefully researched book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and family health professionals looking to understand the human-animal bond and its impact on modern family structures.
