It is also a lifelong process but one that is desirable and appropriate for both the one who leaves and the ones left behind. However understanding the process requires care. This book helps clarify what is at stake in the ordinary yet complex process of leaving home.The Family Living in Pastoral Perspective series examines crucial times in family life in light of the family as a social unit. Each book addresses major changes that ordinarily occur in the life cycle of a family. Each volume takes into account family system theory and social and economic factors that affect the family.
