Western sociology, much of family sociological research has focused on micro-level analyses of the nuclear family and its internal mechanisms, in isolation from society and its other institutions (Stolte-Heiskanen, 1972). There have been, however, some important developments that point to reorientation in family sociology toward a broader and more comprehensive direction. First of all, a number of important analyses have appeared that challenge the previously held notion of the nuclear family both as a universally functional and structural phenomenon unique to modern industrial societies (Aires, 1962; Konig, 1970; Gordon, 1972). Secondly, doubts are being increasingly cast upon the concomittant assumption of the functional necessity of the isolation and insulation of the family from the larger society (Litwak, 1970; Sennett, 1970). Both of these basic conceptual reorientations have contributed to the growing awareness of what has been termed as bridging type concepts between the family and other units (Hill, 1966:14). The resurgence of more macrosociological interests in sociology in general, too, has had its repurcussions in family sociology. Specifically, developments in general systems theory have provided an important stimulus for viewing the family in a larger context. The emergence of the so-called developmental approach also refocused family research oward the morphological aspects of family structures and made us aware of the importance of social space and time (Hill, 1972)
