First published in 1999, this book contains the findings of an
exploratory study using in-depth interviews on parenting and the
dynamics of Hong Kong Chinese stepfamilies. The stepfamily is a
topic which is in lack of local research in Hong Kong, but is an
emerging family structure which has increasing need for
professional intervention. This study began as a result of the
researcher's concern about the soaring number of divorces and
broken families in Hong Kong and her curiosity to uncover the
untold stories of stepfamilies. The literature review, presentation
and thematic analysis of the findings of this study will increase
the readers knowledge and understanding of stepfamilies in contexts
which are different from Western societies. This book unveils the
perceptions and life experiences of the stepmothers, social workers
and teachers attitudes towards stepfamilies and the parenting
behaviours of stepfamilies in Hong Kong. The author has
reflectively analyzed the complex interplay between the social
attitudes, cultural stereotyping of stepfamilies influenced by
Chinese traditional values, aspirations towards marriage and
marital relationships, parental expectations and parent-child
relationships, ideology and policy issues affecting professional
intervention.
