Durkheim′s Sociology of the family has not heretofore been presented and analyzed holistically.

The purpose of Lamanna′s book is to bring together Durkheim′s ideas on the family from diverse sources and to present his family sociology systematically and comprehensively. Quotations from Durkheim′s writing or speaking enrich the analysis.
