Abstract
Abstract A positive and useful approach to conceptualizing families from a global perspective links family strengths, community strengths, and cultural strengths and demonstrates how families use these valued tools to meet the many challenges they face today in a difficult world. In this epilogue, we develop conceptual models from all three levels of strength from an analysis of the 18 countries discussed in this text, and two visual models are also presented in order to help students in family studies world-wide better understand and organize their thinking on the complexities of family life today.
