Families in which one of the parents is absent have so far been studied under different categories (prisoners, divorced) or different names (incomplete, or one-parent). This has hampered the study of the effects of this widely spread phenomenon. A study of sailor families in Israel has been hampered by the lack of a conceptual framework which would have made it possible to apply findings from studies of different kinds of parent-absent families in the service of this particular group. A mapping sentence is presented which distinguishes between six facets concerning the nature of the absence (precipitating cause, the absent parent, the duration of absence, the frequency of absence, the amounts of contact, the kinds of contact) and two facets which relate to its effects (the family unit, its members, the areas of their lives). On the basis of these concepts comparative studies can be conducted and findings generalized
