摘要:In this paper the relationship between social intervention and family imagery is discussed in terms of the current argument that the family is in a state of decline. The popular themes regarding family life are criticized as basically a-social and insensitive. Consequently, intervention based on such imagery attempts to bolster families by targeting individual shortcomings. Popular family imagery does not provide support for intervention which addresses broader public issues and attacks family problems by redirecting social resources and efforts.
