About Social Policy for Child and Family Development

Social Policy for Child Family Development, 1st Ed Social Policy for Child and Family Development: A Systems/Dialectical Perspective was conceived to address the inadequacies of other available textbooks. Systems theory and dialectical theory were combined to provide a framework for enumerating the process of the formation of and changes in social policies. Systems theory provides an overarching view that focuses on the whole rather than parts and dialectical theory provides a process model for how change occurs. The strength of this model rests in viewing change as constantly in motion and for that matter, so are social policies. Social polices tend to mirror the majority public opinions at the time and are subject to critiquing, reevaluating and debunking. This book is written in the belief that a good debate does not lessen a social policy,
but should be the foundation out of which a policy develops.
