Adoption, Emotion, and Identity (eBook, ePUB)

An Ethnopsychological Perspective on Kinship and Person in a Micronesian Society

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring adoption in the Pacific, this book goes beyond the commonplace structural-functional analysis of adoption as a positive "transaction in parenthood." It examines the effects it has on adoptees' inner sense of self, their conflicted emotional lives, and familial relationships that are affected by a personal sense of rejection and not belonging. This account is theoretically rooted in ethnopsychology, based on field work conducted across multiple research sites in the Chuuk Lagoon, its neighboring Chuukic-speaking atolls, and persons from neighboring Micronesian island communities.
