Explore Sfeptaily Problem Increasing numbers of divorces and remarriages remar-riages in American society indicate dynamic changes and challenges in the formation of "step-families"-family situations situa-tions in which one of the parents is not the natural parent of the children in the home. To help solve some of the problems created within these stepfamilies, marriage and family specialists at BYU will be conducting a special 10-week 10-week program they hope will become a potential model to be used by pro-fessional pro-fessional therapists across the United States in the near future. Dr. Margaret Hoopes and Dr. James M. Harper, Har-per, marriage and family therapists and professors at BYU, are heading a team of researchers to test specific ways of helping stepfamilies. The program begins the last week of January, and volunteer stepfamilies are needed to participate in the program. Two research assistants, Marcia Stroup and Deborah Hunt, will assist Drs. Harper and Hoopes in the project. Potential participants should call the Marriage and Family Therapy Program office at the BYU Comprehensive Clinic (378-3888). Families will be accepted on a first-come, first-served first-served basis. After learning learn-ing what the project entails, en-tails, families may decide whether or not they want to be involved. Dr. Hoopes said the research project will provide pro-vide an opportunity for stepfamilies to discuss issues of common concern that otherwise they may have been reluctant to bring into the open. The activities of stepfamilies will include practicing problem-solving problem-solving skills, discussing special problems and issues of stepfamilies, and developing communication skills. "Divorce rates in the U.S. have been soaring since the liberalization of the divorce laws, but remarriage re-marriage rates are also on the increase," Dr. Hoopes pointed out. "About four out of every five of those who obtain a divorce will eventually remarry. The proportion is five-sixths for men ver-sus ver-sus three-fourths for women." She said that statistics statis-tics of basic change within the American family indicate dynamic trends. According to the Population Reference Bureau, the living arrangements ar-rangements for children under 18 years of age are as follows: 67 percent live with two parents, both married once. Of the remaining 33 percent, 16 percent live with mother only, one percent live with father only, three percent with other custodians, cus-todians, and 13 percent with two parents-but not both natural parents. "Researchers report that in the U.S. at the present time, one million children and half a million adults each year become members of step-families," step-families," the professor said. "Approximately one in every six children was a stepchild by 1977, indicating that such children are no longer rare and have far less cause to feel unique or exceptional ex-ceptional than similar children of yesteryear." Dr. Hoopes pointed out that current trends in Utah indicate that although the population doubled from 1940 to 1976 (550,310 to 1,232,000), divorces and annulments were four times higher in 1976 than in 1940 (1,500 divorces in 1940 versus 6,170 in 1976-the last year of published figures). "In addition, the number of children involved in divorce has steadily increased in Utah. From 1960 to 1976, this increased to 100 percent, making 14 out of every 1,000 Utah children under the age of 18 subject to the conse- of divorced life," she explained. "While families continue con-tinue to be formed in larger numbers than they are dissolving, it appears that the percentage of increase in-crease in family dissolutions disso-lutions is greater than the percentage of increase in family formation. This change is indicative of increasing instability in family formations," Dr. Hoopes noted. "More attention needs to be focused on unique concerns of step-families step-families by the social sciences and helping professions," pro-fessions," she observed. "In research already completed, it was discovered dis-covered consistently that couples felt poorly prepared for the many problems they faced in attempting to integrate a new household. Many expressed ex-pressed regret that there had been no professional resource prepared to offer help with the specialized problems of this population. "Although not all stepfamilies require therapeutic assistance, those who need help are showing up in ever-increasing numbers in clinicians' offices," she added. The professor observes ob-serves that consciousness raising in the area of stepfamily life is needed in American society so that members of these families can feel more comfortable with their roles and with themselves. "Because the death of a spouse or of a marriage mar-riage is usually associated with the formation of a stepfamily, talking about stepfamilies is often avoided because of its unpleasant associations. "Such avoidance can affect the self-image of stepfamilies as they realize that others turn away from them and avoid discussing their family situation. Furthermore, Further-more, many individuals in remarriages do not discuss problems that need airing (which they would have "fought out" in their first marriage) because they are so desirous of making the second marriage work," she said.
