Future researchers should clearly indicate where and how the studies were accessed, and why those studies were chosen over others. The authors discuss on the one hand what makes some marriages work and others fail, and then later address issues related to role conflict. Furthermore, the authors tend to paint with broad strokes, discussing dysfunction as if it were not the complex issue that it is. Pasley et al. (1993) do not perform any experimental research. Rather, the authors conduct a meta-analysis of existing research. The concept behind the literature review is fine for illuminating research trends. However, the authors do not offer a clear definition of terms that might clarify the study. For example, a section on the role of the stepparent does not mention what variables might affect that role including ethnicity or socio-economic class. Other demographic variables are not mentioned with sufficient frequency to validate the study.

(1993) study is strong in some areas. The article is relatively brief, allowing researchers and clinicians to briefly glance at some of the main issues that are raised. This may stimulate interest in more astute research in the future. Future researchers should consider isolating key variables that might help family counselors help their clients. For example, researchers could examine only African-American families with parents who are between the ages of 30 and 40. Alternatively, the researchers could investigate mitigating circumstances including extended families and social support systems. As a general review of literature, the Pasley et al. (1993) article is mildly useful but serious research it is not.

These short-term agreements should be among contingency plans drawn up before a flood arrives, although it would not always be possible to predict the dimensions of floods and the resourcefulness and responses of individuals facing the emergency. The proper approach would be a mingling of a lot of intergovernmental planning and voluntary agreements among city, county and State governments and federal agencies (Wahl).

Media Review Project The 1993 film "What's Love Got To Do With It" presents many of the classic symptoms and effects of domestic violence. As such, it provides a great deal of insight into this phenomenon, both on the part of the abuser and on the one who is receiving the abuse. The film is a musical biography of Tina Turner, who was one of the late 20th century's most popular
