Is fatherhood allowed? : Media discourses of fatherhood in organizational life
2019
It has been claimed that in the context of organizations and management, fathers are invisible. One source of tension for fathers who work and who want to participate in family life is that even though involved fatherhood is emerging in many western societies, a family-oriented male identity is likely to be problematic for men in organizations. This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of a professional and managerial men's work-family relationship using discourse analysis on data from three different media sources in Finland, published during 1990-2015. We identified two competing discourses: one of stasis, the other of change. The stasis discourse is constructed around tra…
European citizenship : opportunities and abuses in private international family law
2021
El ensayo se centra en el papel de la autonomía jurídica en la regulación del estado familiar y las relaciones familiares entre los miembros de la unidad familiar típica o atípica. De hecho, el papel de la autonomía jurídica también ha sido ampliado con la ciudadanía europea, entendida por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea como una fuente autónoma de derechos. Esta ciudadanía, que se suma a la nacional, ha permitido a la pareja ?estática?, aún en ausencia del carácter transnacional de la situación familiar, elegir la ley y los instrumentos de los ordenamientos jurídicos extranjeros a aplicar al ámbito patrimonial y a las relaciones existenciales de la comunidad de vida. El ensayo …
Marginalità, esclusione sociale e politiche di intervento. Studi e ricerche dei laboratori dei corsi di studio in servizio sociale
2022
Il volume raccoglie alcuni contributi scaturiti da attività di ricerca e didattica di due laboratori dei Corsi di studio in Servizio sociale del Dipartimento Culture e società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo: il Laboratorio Interdisciplinare di ricerca su Corpi, Diritti, Conflitti e il Laboratorio di Servizio sociale. Marginale è chi vive una condizione di estraneità e non-appartenenza al contesto sociale, chi viene a trovarsi ai margini, ai confini del sistema sociale, a distanza dai processi centrali di distribuzione delle risorse sociali, non solo materiali, a indicare che le disuguaglianze sociali sono strettamente riconducibili a gradi diversi di integrazione sociale, e che la q…
Parental relationship and adolescents’ conceptions of their interaction with significant others
1994
Three problems were investigated with a sample of 329 Estonian and 504 Finnish adolescents (aged 14 to 18 years) and their parents. In Estonia, the responses of parents were received from 85% of the families, and in Finland from 55%. The main findings for each problem were as follows: (1) The adolescent’s, especially girl’s, conceptions of the atmosphere of the parent-child interaction and satisfaction with significant others were more strongly related to the adolescent’s perceptions of a harmonious relationship between the parents than to the parent’s satisfaction with the relationship with the spouse. (2) From the point of view of the adolescent’s conception of the atmosphere of the paren…
Ambiente comunitario y actitud hacia la autoridad: relaciones con la calidad de las relaciones familiares y con la agresión hacia los iguales en adol…
2014
El objetivo del presente estudio es explorar las relaciones entre la calidad de las relaciones familiares, la percepción del ambiente comunita-rio y la actitud de los adolescentes hacia la autoridad (policía, profesores) y normas sociales, en la predicción del bienestar subjetivo y un problema conductual de actualidad como es la agresión hacia los iguales. Para poner a prueba estas relaciones múltiples se ha utilizado una muestra de 554 adoles-centes de ambos sexos con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 16 años. Los datos se recogieron en dos tiempos con un intervalo temporal de 6 me-ses y se analizaron mediante el cálculo de modelos de ecuaciones estructu-rales, incluyendo un análisis …
Newborn infants and the moral significance of intellectual disabilities.
2001
This article presents moral philosophical arguments regarding life-saving medical treatment that may be more available to infants without disabilities than to infants with intellectual disabilities. The ideas are that children with disabilities are a burden to their families and to society and that a happy life may not be attainable for these children and their families. I argue that human well-being is not based merely on individual characteristics, but is a result of the individual's relation to other people. Further, children with disabilities are not inevitably a burden to their families or society. Accordingly, intellectual disability is not a sufficient reason for withholding life-sa…
Teenage motherhood and the evaluation of relationships in the family of origin in mothers in their early adulthood
2019
BackgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships in the family of origin in a sample of mothers who had their first child as teenagers (off-time motherhood).

For women, the optimum reproductive age is anywhere between 20 and 30 years of age.Participants and procedureThe study looked at 60 mothers, including 30 off-time mothering and 30 on-time mothering. Two research tools were used in the study: an own s…

A transsexual parent recounts his transition.
2015
Changes in family systems have concerned norms, roles and relational styles. The presence of a trans-sexual father or mother represents a specific condition in the parenting function. When a parent decides to come out about his or her transsexualism, the process of disclosure becomes a family issue and this coming-out may cause, in the transsexual’s partner, sexual rejection, disillusion, anger, identity crisis, alteration in one’s system of beliefs and concern for one’s children. The adjustment process to trans-sexual parenthood entails the acceptance of this new condition and a focusing on the care function, independently of the relationship of the couple. Moreover, difficulties at the le…
