How many different kinds of families are there? New Family Values provides a critical analysis of scholars and authors who argue that law and policy should be used to foster one model of the family-the intact, two-parent, heterosexual family. Karen Struening argues that this position does not adequately address the problem it supposedly solves-family dissolution-and unnecessarily constrains personal liberty. Healthy families may be necessary for civic unity and individual stability, but there can be many different kinds of families.
