YES! I'm done with reading this textbook!
There was a lot of good information in this book. There were certain parts of the book where I didn't like how the information was presented-like the part about abortion. This textbook did have a lot of good information in it, though.

For a College Textbook this was quite a enjoyable and informing book. The drastic and complex ideas and facts about human feeling, emotion, and family ties is explained very well. I loved this book, but that also might be because I love the field of Family Studies. For anyone who is searching to understand how to communicate with their loved ones (or anyone around them) better, this is definitely a helpful book to read.
