Its mixed-method research offers a new template for examining family structures including father-mother, father-children, and mother-children relationships, as well as those between the offspring of different mothers. Detailed findings and excerpts from interviews with family members illustrate the psychological and social toll of polygamy not only on women and children, but also on men. The author's innovative guidelines for therapy give practitioners contextual cultural perspective for working with this population. This unique analysis: Explores the role of Arab culture and Islam in polygamy. Discusses the social and economic consequences of polygamous arrangements. Reviews data from a range of quantitative and qualitative studies. Includes experiences of study subjects in their own words. Introduces a model for intervention with polygamous families. Considers the future of polygamy in the Middle East. A groundbreaking volume of lasting significance, Psychosocial Impact of Polygamy in the Middle East sets standards in culturally attuned practice and study for social workers as well as researchers and practitioners in family studies and psychology. 000696480 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 25, 2013). 000696480 650_0 $$aPolygamy$$xPsychological aspects. 000696480 650_0 $$aPolygamy$$xSocial aspects. 000696480 650_0 $$aPolygamy$$xLaw and legislation. 000696480 650_0 $$aPolygamy$$xReligious aspects$$xIslam. 000696480 650_0 $$aPolygamy (Islamic law) 000696480 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696480 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-9375-4$$zOnline Access 000696480 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696480$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696480 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696480 980__ $$aBIB 000696480 982__ $$aEbook 000696480 983__ $$aOnline 000696480 994__ $$a92$$bISE
