In the sections which follow, certain major forms of family disorganization will be sketched first. Data from other societies will be used at times, especially in the analyses of illegitimacy and divorce, to throw light on certain broader aspects of family systems. Considerable space will be given to divorce, because so many other types of family disorganization are likely to issue eventually in divorce, because it is the focus of so much moral concern on the part of the public, and because changes in the divorce rate are usually an index of changes in other elements in the family patterns of any society.
[4] As a foundation for the later analysis of these forms, a general view of their meaning for social structures will first be outlined.
[5] The major forms of family disorganization may be classified as follows:
1. The uncompleted family unit: illegitimacy. Although the family unit may not be said to "dissolve" if it never existed, illegitimacy may nevertheless be viewed as one form of family disorganization for two reasons: (a) the potential "father-husband" conspicuously fails in his role obligations as these are defined by the society, mother, and child, and (b) the role failure of members of the families of both mother and father, especially with regard to social control, is a major indirect cause of illegitimacy.
參考答案:在下面的部分里，家庭分裂中某些主要形式将会首先被拟定。其他社会中的数据有时会被采用，尤其是在私生子女和离婚的分析方面，以便停落在家庭系统的某些主要的方面。将给离婚相当大的空间，因为很多其他类型的家庭破裂都很类似与离婚这件事，因为它是涉及到如此多的道德的公众部分的焦点，而且还因为离婚率的改变通常是在任何一个社会形态下的家庭形式里其他基础改变的索引。最新对这些形式的研究发现，他们对于社会结构的意义的普通观点将首先被描述。
家庭破裂的主要形式可能被如下分类：
1.不完成的家庭单元：私生。如果家庭不存在的话，尽管家庭单元可能没“离婚”，私生可能仍然被认为是家庭破裂的一种形式有两个理由：（a）:潜在的“父亲-丈夫”已经显著地失败了，而这些是被社会定义的应尽的义务角色，母亲和孩子。（b）:两个家庭的母亲和父亲成员角色的失败，尤其关于社会的控制，是私生的主要的间接的原因。
