Abstract
The family, the backbone of society, is supposed to be an oasis of serenity where love abounds. Such is not always the case. Actually "There are more police calls for family conflicts than for murders, aggravated batteries, and all other serious crimes." The problem of family disturbances is said to have an iceberg quality because such a large portion of the problem has remained below the level of public consciousness. Perhaps the public has intentionally disregarded the problem of family disturbances. Typically, Americans seem to ignore unpleasantries until they affect them as individuals.
