    A Prelude to The Culture of Narcissism
  

*by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2011*

In The Culture of Narcissism, Christopher Lasch mentions the importance of Haven in a Heartless World as a prelude document.  Among other things, Lasch attributes the culture of narcissism to an attempt by various social agencies, academics, health professionals and bureaucrats to create space for themselves by proposing ways of solving problems that are ultimately unsolvable.  We begin our lives with a sense of loss, the world being a colder and more difficult place than the warmth and freedom from responsibility  afforded by the womb.  Enter the professional nurturers who will build careers for themselves by promising to remedy that sense of loss through their various ministrations (which, once applied, prove to be more problematic than the ills they have purported to cure).Haven in a Heartless World looks at the displacement of family responsibility by such individuals.  Beginning in the nineteenth century, Lasch works his way forward principally through the study of sociological literature, most of which he finds radically wanting.  While I agree with Lasch's critics that he spends less time articulating his own advice and principles than one might wish, his command of the literature at his disposal is very, very impressive.  Haven in a Heartless World does not utilize the broad cultural materials of The Culture of Narcissism but it is an important step on the way to Lasch's major book.While not inaccessible to general readers, Haven in a Heartless World will be of particular interest to sociologists and other social scientists.  It remains relevant today, even though it appeared over three decades ago.

    A familys' responsiblity for the shaping of society.
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2000*

When people wonder why people turn in to who they are and form the society in wth which we live this book will help clarify things for them.  If one wants a deep look at society's ills and its being formed by families,  Christopher Lasch presents a very good insight, that for reasons of  accuracy may not make everyone happy.
