Abstract
In contemporary society, especially within American middle-class families, there is a shift from a generational to a peer-associational orientation. This shift in authority orien- tation also carries with it a divergence from a preoccupation with role performance to one with competence development. These shifts are explained in the changes in societal requirements, in the nature of family life, and in ongoing child-rearing practices. These ongoing changes suggest the necessity to re-evaluate present practice modalities and tech- niques which are anchored in studies and practices pursued within a generational orientation.
