La transizione alla genitorialità

Abstract

After defining parenthood as a relationship (as opposed to an expression of either individual fulfilment or the couple’s narcissism) this essay considers the different currentdevelopments in the transition from the family dyad to the triad (deferred/assisted/social parenthood, non-parenthood as both vo and the result of abortion). The empirical evidence reveals that, in the socio-cultural atmosphere of post-modernity, the postponement of procreation is the most widespread choice among couples. Furthermore, transformations in the identities of mother and father are examined in light of the changes undergone by adult identities. Finally, the focus is shifted onto parenthood in the different, currently widespread, family forms (divorced/blended/de facto families).
