Barnes, Gill Gorell: Growing Up in Stepfamilies

Millions of children in Britain now grow up in stepfamilies, but little is reliably known about their experiences of stepfamily life, or why in the long term some encounter problems, whilst others flourish. This pioneering, multidisciplinary study tracks the lives of fifty children born in 1958, offering unique insights into the long term impact of stepfamily life in Britain today.
