Albanian Family of Origin and Adult Children's Relationship Quality

The book "Albanian Family of Origin and Adult Children's Relationship Quality" by Vjollca Martinson offers a comprehensive examination of the connections between family of origin factors and the quality of relationships among Albanian individuals living in the United States. The study analyzes how the quality of the parent-child relationship, the quality of the parents' marriage, and the childhood environment influence the relationship quality of couples. The results reveal both similarities and differences compared to similar research in the U.S. Notably, not all family variables that were significant in U.S. research apply to Albanian couples. The findings are particularly valuable for family therapists and educators, as they enhance the understanding of cultural differences and their impact on relationship dynamics.
