Exploring the complexities of family dynamics, this book examines the intersection of personal and societal views on family, particularly in the context of child abuse prevention. It critiques how professional narratives often depict families in rigid, outdated frameworks, influenced by social policies and media portrayals. The author highlights the disproportionate impact of these regulatory systems on impoverished families, especially mothers, who are tasked with maintaining internal boundaries. The work invites readers to reconsider the implications of these administrative constructs on family life.
