Asay use their academic research, practical experiences, and active teaching knowledge to help guide students through family resource management, and provide them with the most current, accurate, and dynamic information available for future professionals in the field of family services. The Fourth Edition includes the latest cutting-edge research, analysis of social changes, economic shifts, and the emerging “new normal” as the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
