Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Degeneration in Families: Observations in a Lunatic Asylum
The family is composed of individuals. But as long as these single members do not feel themselves as part of the great community which the family forms, the latter does not exist as an actual power. The family can only be formed through this feeling; but, once formed, any Single member will hardly quite free himself from the tie by which he feels himself more or less bound. The individual may break away from the family, may even, under outside in?uence, place himself in opposi tion to it; but this very opposition will in itself form a restricting bond, which holds him and makes him to a certain extent a bondsman.
