Marriage and Family in Modern China is a groundbreaking
psychoanalytic examination of how 70 years of widespread social
change have transformed the intimacies of life in modern China. The
book describes the evolution of marriage and family structure, from
the ancient tradition of large families preferring sons, arranged
marriages and devaluation of girls, to a contemporary dominance of
free-choice marriages and families that now prefer to remain small
even after the ending of the One Child Policy. David Scharff uses
extensive reports of his psychoanalytic interventions to
demonstrate how the residue of widespread trauma suffered by
Chinese families during past centuries has interacted with the
effects of rapid modernization to produce new patterns of
individual identity, personal ambition and family structure. This
wholly original book offers new insight into Chinese families for
all those interested in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and in the
intricacies of Chinese domestic life.
