Summary: An article about identity difficulties based on changes in the family during the last half of this century, written from a family systems and a developmental approach.
Gems: I see the problem of identity as the sickness of this age. I'm finding as I work with different families that identity is a big problem, not just in missions, but around the world..There is no ideal family. I love the term, the "good enough" mother. There is also the "good enough" family.
