Garcia, Washington State University, USA"This book takes Bogenschneider’s Family Policy Matters to a whole new level. "It’s a perfect fit for my Family Policy class. Lamb, University of Cambridge, UK"This is the top text in my view I feel very comfortable introducing this book to undergraduates as well as graduates because of the level of the writing It is hard to find a book that provides a foundation for family policy this is the best available Bogenschneider provides structure and tools for understanding how policy is done." – Clinton Gudmunson,

"Public Policy Matters" according to Emily Burditt. Very important information for anyone considering a job in the family sciences.. S. Haddock said Is there no other textbook available for discussing family policy?????. This has been the most tedious and unentertaining textbook I have had to read in my life!!!! Which is really such a shame because it is such an important topic. The US does marginalize families and there is a need for some federal policy to serve the interests of our very diverse families. However, if this book is leading the way we are going to need more help. Perhaps the author might consider a collaborative effort with William Crain imagine the possibilities.. "Five Stars" according to Jennifer Veliz. Provides valuable information
