“This is a beautifully written and significant book, a profound contribution to our understanding of the family… For every social scientist’s shelf.”—Contemporary Sociology

“This is a very important book, which should have a major influence not only on the field of family therapy, but psychiatry in general… [Reiss’s] experiments are ingenious, his observations are astute, his methodology sophisticated, his analyses complex but technically correct, his theoretical formulations precise and articulate, his discussion astute, and his logic persuasive.”—Contemporary Psychiatry

“This book is a most significant and original contribution. The research is exceptional in its conception, planning, and findings… Reiss’s scholarship is of astounding scope.”—Contemporary Psychology
