Abstract

This article has a twofold aim. First, it sets forth a realist, relational, and morphogenetic approach to socialization as relational reflexivity. The main thesis is that this constitutes a remarkable advance in theoretical rigor compared to most strands of contemporary theory. Then the argument will be made that some cultural trends are currently challenging the very process through which “healthy” personalities are moulded, thereby changing the once established meanings of “integrity” and “maturity” as referred to adult identities.
