Research methods in social relations

This book is altogether unlike any other sociological treatise on the family. There are two generally recognized types of books on marriage and the family. One, theoretical in nature, deals with the family as a social institution. The other deals with the problems of courtship, marriage and parenthood—more or less as a manual for youths in contemporary society. The book at hand does not structure the family as a social institution, but neither is it in any sense a popular, practical manual for the guidance of youth in pursuit of marital bliss!

Family, Socialization and Interaction Process

The aim of the book is to describe in a comprehensive manner the psychodynamics of family life and its relation both to the individual, and to the socio-cultural setting of the present day. The need for such an approach is intensified through rapid and unassimilated changes in the culture and the consequent increase in mental illness. The thesis of the book is that mental functioning of the individual can be understood only in the context of the family in its cultural setting of the present time. Mental health is a process of balance and adaptation. The emotions and behavior of each member of a family are affected by ever)' other member. The family is a primary group, intermediate between the individual and wider society. This thesis is presented under five headings —Introduction, Mental Health, Social Change, and Family: Part I Theoretical Aspects; Part II Clinical \\spects; Part III Therapeutic Aspects; and Part IV Wider Perspectives; including Problems of Family Research. The book is based on a familiarity with Freudian theory and a long experience with psychoanalysis as applied both to individual and group therapy. The author is one of a number of psychoanalysts who have criticized the instinctual theory of Freud. He points out the distortions and inadequacies of the classic theory as applied both to the functioning of the individual in the family and the family in society. He regards the progressive stages of personality organization as advancing levels of biosocial integration with, and differentiation from, the environment. The chapter on homeostasis of behavior is perhaps the kernel of the author's viewpoint. He applies Cannon's definition of this term to the psychological aspects of behavior, and also expands the concept to include not only the idea of the restoration of equilibrium, but also the need for this equilibrium as a base from which to grow. This principle homeostasis, he says, signifies the capacity for creative, fluid adaptability to change. The essence of life is change, growth, learning, adaptation to new conditions, and creative evolution of new levels
