Abstract
This thesis presents a summary of the structural characteristics, contextual influences, cognitive processes, behavioural practices; and developmental factors shown by previous research to be associated with adjustment within stepfamily relationship systems. This thesis also presents research that firstly, examines a method of assessing stepfamily adjustment and secondly, evaluates the effectiveness of a program designed to improve stepfamily adjustment for couples.
