Family Clusters as a Means of Reducing Isolation Among Urbanites

Pringle, Bruce M.

Family Coordinator, 23, 2, 175-179, Apr 74

Many urban residents do not have the emotional support of an adequate network of kin, friends, or neighbors. It is proposed that such persons join together into artificial extended families or family clusters. Experiences in the formation and operation of a cluster are described on the basis of participant observation. (Author)
