(1993) Sourcebook of family theories and methods, Dordrecht, Springer.
Family development … has uniquely pioneered the effort to describe and explain the processes of change in families. Family time—the sequence of stages precipitated internally by the demands of family members (e.g., biological, psychological, and social needs) and externally by the larger society (e.g., social expectations and ecological constraints)—is the most significant focal point of the family development perspective. (Mattessich & Hill, 1987, p. 437)
