The purpose of the book is to identify mistaken behaviors and show how they undermine healthy relationships, in order to gently guide the individual towards adjustment.

It does not offer reassurance. It offers clarity. Taking its cue from Claude Lévi-Strauss but refusing to remain in the comfort of academic distance, the book brings structural anthropology into direct confrontation with contemporary society.
