Book, Family In Disarray, A[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Families led by women, homosexuals who express the desire to marry and raise children, adopting the family order that always rejected their sexual preference, and juvenile delinquency taken to the extreme point to some of the great transformations that have been occurring in the Western family. The liberalization of customs, the loss of the father's authority, and the precariousness inherent in the modern economy took away their guidance and control.. Formerly considered the basic cell of modern society, the family seems increasingly less capable of transmitting the values it consolidated for so long.. This could condemn the family order and, consequently, the possibility of individuals constructing themselves as subjects. In this new essay, the historian of psychoanalysis Elisabeth Roudinesco analyzes the origin of family disorder, the secret behind these problems, and the future of this institution.. "[Elisabeth Roudinesco] puts the family in perspective and questions it, without relating it to preconceived ideas". Catherine Argand, Read "One can agree" (...) or not. But the intervention of someone capable of taking psychoanalysis out of the ivory tower and bringing it down is always welcome (upload?) to the cultural debate, in which she actively participated not long ago."
