The author contends that close relationships with extended kin have provided the nuclearfamily psychological and instrumental support, role models for the adult years, and a sense of historical continuity and perspective. With the waning of kin ties among a portion of today's middle class families, alternativefamilystructures have arisen. Three of these-family networks, communes, and the affiliatedfamily-are critically evaluated with respect to their potential utility as substitutesfor kin ties. He concludes that none of these are ideal, and emphasizes the need for further efforts to enhance the environmental support for many middle class families
