    1. family is most important institution
      1. Resp for dev and happiness of indivs
        1. most researched from PSP persp and findings over-generalised
          1. mothers frequently blamed for 'failures' of children
            1. marriage seen as normative
              1. single women/gays 'pathologised'
                1. findings viewed 'universally' and diffs between families ironed out - marginalised members rendered invisible
    2. MAINSTREAM CRITIQUE
      1. WILLIAMS (2004)
        1. 'networks of affection'
          1. Sutton (2004)
            1. 'family reunion rituals'
              1. knowledge about families is thus situated within cultural power relations - the indiv/social dualism is not a useful one
          2. De-trad family forms
            1. Morrow (1998)
              1. 'quality of relationships'
                1. Cicerilli (1994)
                  1. 'fluid boundaries'
                    1. However.. normative ideologies about heterosexual married coupled families still dominate
                2. DISCURSIVE
                  1. Singleness
                    1. Reynolds & Wetherell (2003)
                      1. Annie (positive)
                        1. Lyn (negative)
                          1. Therefore... singleness needs studying from the point of view that it consists of personal narratives and subject positions
                        2. 'repertoires of choice'
                      2. Domestic division of labour
                        1. Thompson (1991)
                          1. 'distributive justice framework'
                            1. Caroline Dryden (1999)
                              1. 'Rachael' - division of housework'
                                1. Unequal gender relations are deeply embedded within cultural ideologies - rather than seeing this inequity, women take up positions of gratitude
                                  1. Discourses of power inequities are brought to meaning in everyday practices and mainstream research methods are unable to capture them through methods such as the 'distributive justice framework' questionnaires
                      3. Social psychoanalytic
                        1. Bank & Kahn (1982)
                          1. Oedipus complex
                            1. Mitchell (2000)
                              1. 'siblings bonds - no intrinsic value of own'
                                1. Prophesy Coles (2003)
                                  1. 'bit part actors'
                                    1. Mitchell (2003)
                                      1. 'construction of ego'
                                        1. Siblings are often major object-elements in early life - so the idea siblings are introjected and become part of the self suggests siblings play a central role in the development of the self
                                          1. Lucey et al (2006)
                                            1. 5 Muslim Sisters
                                              1. Hence, the powerful unconscious world of splitting, desires and imaginings as well as invested positions within social and culture discourses all have an impact on family relationships
                                                1. The psychoanalytic view of us being unconsciously defended challenges to what extent we can ever be completely autonomous.
                              2. CONCLUSION
                                1. common ground in research perspectives of DP and psychoanalyic approaches (both SSP)
                                  1. both explore place of families in the construction of identities
                                    1. Unlike PSP (mainstream) they do not draw a clear boundary between what happens inside a family and wider society
