GERALD HANDEL, AB'47, AM'51, PhD'62 (Comparative Human Development)Family Worlds (New Edition)Professor Handel wrote to Dialogo to bring our attention to the fact that fifty-seven years after its first publication by The University of Chicago Press (in 1959) a new edition of Family Worlds has come out. The book was originally co-authoredby him and Robert D. Hess, PhD'50 (Comparative Human Development), who died in 1993. Research for the book was conducted between 1952 and 1956 on two-parent families with two or three children between the ages of 6 and 18, and was the first study of families based on interviews with all the members, fathers as well as mothers, children as well as parents. Dr. Handel has also donated archives to the Department of Comparative Human Development from his research for the book, Making a Life in Yorkville, for use in teaching and research by students and faculty. |
