Strictly defined, ""coparenting"" is a relationship in which the biological or adoptive parents are not in a marriage, cohabitation, or sexual relationship with each other. Coparents may be members of the extended family, divorced or foster parents, or other specialized caregivers. The editors of this volume bring together a wide range of research to explore the various caregiving arrangements and dimensions that the term comprises. Part I of Coparenting examines the concepts, theories, and empirical research underlying this dynamic socialization force characteristic of all family systems. Part II explores clinical applications--the various assessments and interventions that promote coparenting. The volume concludes with policy implications for human services agencies, courts, and educational systems to encourage good coparenting as a powerful support for at-risk children's social, emotional, and behavioral needs.

The genetics and hormones of older women have designed them to be vital family members, with patience and perspective that come with age and experience. In addition, biology helps directly via menopause. The grandmother hypothesis explains that human women, unlike almost any other living creature, experience decades of life after menopause, in order to make grandmothers available to their descendants...
