Haven in a Heartless World
Book • 1977
In 'Haven in a Heartless World: The Family Besieged', Christopher Lasch examines the impact of industrialization and the rise of professional interventions on family dynamics.
He argues that the family's traditional role as a moral and social cornerstone is being undermined by external forces, leading to a loss of authority and emotional independence.
Lasch critiques the intrusion of 'helping professions' into family life, which he believes undermines parental authority and contributes to societal issues like narcissism.
