Over the past thirty years, there has been a dramatic shift in the way the legal system approaches and resolves family disputes. Traditionally, family law dispute resolution was based on an “adversary” system: two parties and their advocates stood before a judge who determined which party was at fault in a divorce and who would be awarded the rights in a custody dispute. Now, many family courts are opting for a “problem-solving” model in which courts attempt to resolve both legal and non-legal issues. At the same time, American families have changed dramatically. Divorce rates have leveled off and begun to drop, while the number of children born and raised outside of marriage has increased sharply. Fathers are more likely to seek an active role in their children’s lives. While this enhanced paternal involvement benefits children, it also increases the likelihood of disputes between parents. As a result, the families who seek legal dispute resolution have become more diverse and their legal situations more complex. In Divorced from Reality, Jane C. Murphy and Jana B. Singer argue that the current "problem solving" model fails to address the realities of today's families. The authors suggest that while today’s dispute resolution regime may represent an improvement over its more adversary predecessor, it is built largely around the model of a divorcing nuclear family with lawyers representing all parties—a model that fits poorly with the realities of today's disputing families. To serve the families it is meant to help, the legal system must adapt and reshape itself.

Sinds het midden van de jaren negentig is het probleem van de slecht presterende jongens op school een aandachtspunt geworden in de media. Deze publieke interesse heeft ook gezorgd voor een stroom aan publicaties en onderzoeken. Zoals één van de auteurs zo treffend wist te formuleren: "waarom nu al deze commotie over jongens terwijl slecht presterende meisjes decennia geen 'probleem' vormden". Anderen menen dan weer dat het de negatieve attitude van de jongens zelf is die hen in de problemen brengt. De auteurs nemen een eerder pragmatische houding aan in antwoord op deze vragen. Ten eerste is het in ieders belang om het aantal slecht presterende leerlingen, jongens en meises, zo laag mogelijk te houden. En tweede is het zoeken naar de juiste leerstrategieën voor jongens een gelegenheid om voor iedere leerling een goede leeromgeving te scheppen.
