Summary
This chapter explores how the idea of “liquid and changeable” fits a new anthropological and psychological theory of body, individual, and relationships, which puts relational complexity in focus. Contemporary theories on relationship are illustrated; these perspectives are particularly helpful for individuals today and for hypermodern families who ask for help.
