Reviews
"Dixon's Text may well become
the text on African American relationships marriages and families.
It not only reviews the historical/social context of contemporary
relationships for the academic, but provides numerous end-of-chapter
exercises for ersonal exploration the clinician might recommend
for clients."--Donald Knox, Ph.D. Co-author with Caroline
Schacht of Choices in Relationships.
"Patricia Dixon's masterful, comprehensive
work should be read by all who work with African American couples.
We intend to use it with our team of marriage educatiors who serve
the African American community in the Archdiocese of Chicago."
--Andrew Lyke, Coordinator of Marriage Ministry for the Archdiocese
of Chicago
