Sorensen, Bernice,1951-

Only-child experience and adulthood[electronic resource] /Bernice Sorensen. - Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xiii, 217 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 205-214) and index.

The politics of the only-child -- The research framework -- Co-researchers' stories -- Only-child voices and life-stages -- Research data and the world wide web -- Stories from China and Taiwan-- Life-stories and life-stages -- An only-child archetype : a folktale -- The only-child matrix --Gathering the threads.

The only-child phenomenon is increasing worldwide, but little attention has been given to thelived experiences and social identity of the adult only-child. How have they experienced a life without siblings? What are the social and psychological implications of this absence? Do cultural stereotypes of the spoilt, selfish only-child affect them? Are there advantages to being an only-child? Are only-children different in some way? In this exciting new book, Bernice Sorensen presents adult only-child experiences from around the world and offers an insight into the dilemmas and challenges faced throughout different life stages, including interpersonal relationships and self-image. Examinedfrom both a social and psychological perspective, this book reveals the complexity and multidimensional nature of the private, personal and public worlds of the only-child.
