Used Book in Good Condition
Economists have used economic methodologies to analyze issues from outside their traditional domain for a long time. And people have been complaining about it for a long time too. The relevant term is economics imperialism.
Gary Becker is a big figure in this regard. For example, his book A Treatise on the Family was a major influence on family economics. (Becker delved into lots of non-traditional areas, like crime and drug addiction, but his work in family econ is the closest to OP's concern.)
In case you like podcasts, EconTalk has done a couple episodes on this. Here's an interview with Becker. Here's a discussion of Becker's work with Edward Lazear.
