Conventional and counterculture families are discussed as ideal types in eight activity areas ranging from childrearing and economics to religious and leisure time use. Counterculture forms show either promise or hypothetical superiority in meeting needs in five of the areas. Characteristics of both family forms are discussed in terms of social control and personal growth implications. Research, based on an awareness of goals, is suggested. Research in an area of social change such as that involving family and marriage alternatives requires a careful investigation of issues, problems, and assumptions underlying the basic questions the researcher asks in approaching sensitive areas. The purpose of this paper will be to raise some essential questions and to frame an approach to the study of family alternatives. The results may provide a focus on basic issues and clarify some of the problems involved in such research. Basically, two questions are posed
