Abstract

Hans and Birgit Bertram offer comprehensive insight into a multiplicity of themes related to research on the family and childhood, thus providing an overview of the research into socialization that is based solidly in facts. They construct a claim for the critical examination of classical socialization theories that is rich in underlying facts and therefore plead for a social-ecological perspective on the decade-old debate over the future of the family. The study is convincing as a comprehensive and accessible work, despite some formal weaknesses. It is also appropriate for application to teaching. It summarizes scientific debates and insights of the past decades and thus adds to public discussions.
