Beyond Expectation
An in-depth study of lesbian, bi, and queer women's experiences of thinking about and trying to become a parent, Beyond Expectation draws on eighty-two narrative interviews conducted during the late 1990s in British Columbia. Jacquelyne Luce chronicles these women's experiences, which took place from 1980 to 2000, during a period that saw significant changes to the governance of assisted reproduction and the status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender parents and same-sex partners. Beyond Expectation looks closely at the changing contexts in which women's experiences occurred and draws attention to complex issues such as 'contracting' relationships, mediating understandings of biology and genetics, and decision-making amidst various social, legal, and medical developments. Luce skillfully juxtaposes the stories of her interviewees with the wider public discourses about lesbian/bi/queer parenting and reproductive technology and highlights gaps in existing legislative reforms. Most importantly, Beyond Expectation foregrounds the lived experiences of lesbian, bi, and queer women as they negotiate kinship at the intersection of reproduction, technology, and politics.
Családhatározó - A sokszínűség pszichológiája
Mit is nevezünk családnak? Erre a sokrétű kérdésre most neves pszichológusok, szociális szakemberek, gyógypedagógusok és családterapeuták adják meg saját válaszaikat, miközben részletesen be is mutatják a különféle családtípusokat. Hiszen a családok nagyon sokfélék lehetnek. Gyakori, hogy a szülők elválnak, és külön élve nevelik a gyerekeiket. Az is sokszor megesik, hogy a válás után a szülők újraházasodnak, és mozaikcsaládokban élnek tovább. Az sem ritka, hogy különféle okokból egy párnak nem születik gyereke, így ők ketten alkotják a családot. Ha a gyerekvállalás akadályba ütközik, segítségre van szükség: így születnek asszi...

Psychological Experts in Divorce Actions
Emotionally charged issues abound in matrimonial practice, especially in custody disputes. Expert testimony can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of a case, and when matters are highly sensitive or sensational the seeming objectivity of an expert can be dispositive. To effectively reinforce or question that testimony, certain specialized knowledge is essential. Scientifically accepted standards and theories are constantly evolving. Keeping up with the data had been a challenge, but one integrated resource has made it simple. Aspen Publishers’ Psychological Experts in Divorce Actions pulls all the research together into the definitive guide to understanding the role of psychological eva...
Diskursanalyse zur Sozialisation in Regenbogenfamilien
Homosexuelle sind Eltern wie alle anderen, ihre Kinder unterscheiden sich in ihren Entwicklungen und Lebensentwürfen nicht von denen aus traditionellen Familien. Diese Bilder malt der Forschungsdiskurs, aber bildet er damit die Realität ab? Inwieweit ist die empirische Forschung heteronormiert und somit bemüht, ihnen ein "normales" Image zu verleihen, um Kritikerinnen und Kritikern keine Angriffsflächen zu bieten? Die Analyse des Forschungsdiskurses und zahlreiche historische bzw. sozialpolitische Exkurse ermöglichen eine völlig neue Perspektive auf das Thema, die vor allem die Frage stellt: Was ist normal?
Romancing the Sperm
The 1990s marked a new era in family formation. Increased access to donor sperm enabled single women and lesbian couples to create their families on their own terms, outside the bounds of heterosexual married relationships. However, emerging “alternative” families were not without social and political controversy. Women who chose to have children without male partners faced many challenges in their quest to have children. Despite current wider social acceptance of single people and same sex couples becoming parents, many of these challenges continue. In Romancing the Sperm, Diane Tober explores the intersections between sperm donation and the broader social and political environment in which “modern families” are created and regulated. Through tangible and intimate stories, this book provides a captivating read for anyone interested in family and kinship, genetics and eugenics, and how ever-expanding assisted reproductive technologies continue to redefine what it means to be human.
