The Myth of the Nuclear Family: Historical Background and Clinical Implications.
Uzoka, Azubike Felix
American Psychologist, v34 n11 p1095-106 Nov 1979
Research reviewed indicates that the concept of the nuclear family is inadequate and misleading for an understanding of family dynamics or a guide for therapeutic intervention. Nonetheless, clinical practitioners and psychological theorists foster the nuclear myth. A new approach to the study of human relationships is needed. (Author/GC)
