EXAMINATION OF BOTH THE LEGITIMATE AND ILLEGITIMATE APPLICATIONS OF FORCE IN THE FAMILY AND THE MORE SUBTLE ELEMENTS OF FAMILY STRUCTURE WHERE FORCE PLAYS A ROLE THOUGH NO OVERT USE OF FORCE IS ACTUALLY VISIBLE.

Abstract

THIS PAPER FOCUSES ON THREE MAIN ASPECTS OF THIS POWER: FORCE EMBODIED IN CONTINUING FAMILY ROLES AND STRUCTURES, WHICH IS RARELY REJECTED OR CHALLENGED; BOTH INVISIBLE AND OVERT PHYSICAL FORCE USED IN THE MOLDING OF CHILDREN DURING THE SOCIALIZATION PROCESS; AND OVERT, BUT ILLEGITIMATE FORCE - VIOLENCE WITHIN THE FAMILY APPEARING AS ASSAULT, MURDER, OR CHILD ABUSE.
