Details

This book promotes a relational understanding of the self. It explores how law can be transformed by focusing on the promotion and protection of caring relationships, rather than individual rights. This offers a radical and profound re-imagining of what law is about and what it should be trying to do. It moves from the theoretical into offering practical examples of how the law could be developed to enhance relationships, rather than undermine them.

Explores the concept of the relational self, showing that most people assume the individual model of the self, especially lawyers
Explores how adopting the model of the relational self impacts on law
Gives greater practical significance to the theoretical writing on the relational self
