Abstract
Each year a dozen or so new texts are available to instructors of marriage and family courses. These texts have a wide market including courses in adult education, health education, nursing, child and family studies, psychology, and, of course, sociology. Others have argued the importance of text selection for teaching and learning (Goldsmid and Wilson 1980). Because texts are so important, our primary purpose in this paper is to provide a useful guide for the selection of introductory marriage and family textbooks. We hope that the following review will inform instructors as to the types of marriage and family texts available and consequently, to assist them in finding quality textbooks that are compatible with their course goals and student audiences. Additionally, we feel that by increasing instructors' resources for text selection, we may demonstrate to publishers that we are a concerned and knowledgeable consumer audience whose needs must be taken into account
