| Abstract: | This commentary critiques C. Strenger's (see record 2004-21113-001) "Nobrow: Identity Formation in a Fatherless Generation", an article suggesting that connection to the past has less psychic reality for Gen-Xers than for earlier sociological cohorts and offering a therapeutic approach for this group that claims greater sensitivity to current cultural upheaval. The clinical example is questioned as to its generalizability, and the technique presented is deemed neither innovative nor exemplary. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
