The family is the primary agency for protecting physical and mental health. Moreover, the family must provide what adult men and women need for their fulfilment as personalities. Since the familyis being revealed as the source of much of human frustration and defeat, the improvement of family life has become socially imperative. A broad national policy for family life is needed, which will reaffirm its place and function and direct all other interests and activities to that goal.","PeriodicalId":86247,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of sociology","volume":"53 6","pages":"471-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1948-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27732870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
