Ethnographies of Social Support de Markus Schlecker

Ethnographies of Social Support

Markus Schlecker

Friederike Fleischer

Why do elderly choose to move away from their children so as to not receive their support? Using a number of case studies, contributors explore social support as a tool of mutuality, or maintaining relatedness and sharing feelings, rather than preventing or patching up problems. This book helps correct the dominant framework of deliberate action.
