«Mort de la famille» is the essay by South African psychiatrist David Cooper, published by Points in paperback (156 pages, in French).
The author argues that the family, far from being a refuge, is an oppressive institution that imposes normality and conformism. He examines how its alienating structures are reproduced in school, factory or hospital, and advocates dissolving the traditional family in search of more authentic forms of coexistence.
Number 63 in the Points Essais collection; French translation of Death of the Family (1971) by Ferial Drosso Bellivier.
Aimed at readers interested in sociology, psychology and critique of social institutions.
