In this article we continue our discussion of the precurson to a Family Ecologt by articulating the conceptual commonalities and differences that are found in-the utilization of an ecological framework within the social and -beluvioral sciences. We then examine the implications of human ecologt for an ecological study of the family. Finally, we identify and discuss four citical tenets for a Famity Eco[ogt which is offered as an altemative interdisciplinary approach to the complex srudy of family phenomena.read more
