AbstractFamily education is a respectful approach to working with Native American families. When clinicians are informed about tribal ways, families can contribute greatly to accurate diagnosis and effective treatment and rehabilitation.

Familien haben im Zuge sozialen Wandels Probleme bei der Herstellung ökonomischer Wohlfahrt. In Konfrontation mit dem Phänomen einer Infantilisierung von Armut setzt die Familienpolitik auf Strategien der De-Familialisierung und Re-Kommodifizierung. Im Rekurs auf das Armutsfallentheorem wird der im Zuge der Hartz-Reformen umgesetzten Aktivierungsstrategie gefolgt, Familienernährende nicht durch eine komfortable Lebenslage zu verlocken, dem Arbeitsmarkt fern zu bleiben. Die Studie verbindet Armuts- und Familienforschung und fragt anhand von Ereignisdatenanalysen auf Basis des SOEP, wie Armutslagen die Dynamik der Arbeitslosigkeit von Frauen und Männern mit Familienbezug beeinflussen. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich eine andauernd hohe Dynamik sowie Verfestigungstendenzen, die Annahmen der Exklusionsforschung bestätigen. Ein signifikanter Effekt des neuen Sozialregimes zeigt sich allein für die Abgangschancen der Frauen aus Arbeitslosigkeit in Minijobs.

Abstract: Connections between families and communities are dynamic and contextual, and their influences are reciprocal. We present a resource guide for family social scientists who are focusing on the nexus of families and communities by highlighting recent theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions.

The main objective of this paper is to analyze families in Thailand in light of the country's dominant religion, Buddhism. The analysis is based mainly on a review of the literature and research findings on family and religion documented previously. The focus is on changes in demographic structure and fertility behavior in relation to changes in household structure and size. Certain aspects of families are investigated, including the family system, the family life cycle, marriage and divorce, women in labor force, and the elderly. Buddhism, which has flourished in Thailand since the thirteenth century, has borne a strong influence in Thai society. Buddhism, as interpreted in terms of cultural expressions, has long been associated with the Thai way of life, attitudes, and codes of behavior of individuals at both societal and family levels. Moreover, in the past Buddhism played a very significant role in a person's life from childhood to old age. However, during the past 2-3 decades Thailand has undergone rapid socioeconomic change toward more modernization and a greater degree of urbanization, and certain social values and behaviors which used to be closely related to religious interpretation are observed to undergo some changes as well in both the family and society in general. This may be an indication of a widening gap between beliefs and realities in modern Thailand.
