In attempting to cope with their husbands' alcoholism, the women face a profound cultural dilemma: when does the nurturing behavior expected of a good wife and mother become part of a pattern of behavior that is actually destructive? How does the celebration of nurturance and dependency mask the exploitative aspects not just of family life but also of public life in Japan? 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Alcoholics|xFamily relationships|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Alcoholics' spouses|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Parents of drug addicts|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Codependency|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Social work with women|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Sex role|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Wives|zJapan|zTokyo. 650 0 Alcoholics|zJapan|zTokyo|xFamily relationships. 650 7 SELF-HELP|xSubstance Abuse & Addictions|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 PSYCHOLOGY|xPsychopathology|xAddiction.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xAnthropology|xCultural.|2bisacsh 650 7 Alcoholics|xFamily relationships.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00804419 650 7 Alcoholics' spouses.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00804459 650 7 Codependency.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00866213 650 7 Parents of drug addicts.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01430957 650 7 Sex role.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01114598 650 7 Social work with women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01123561 650 7 Wives.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01176420 651 7 Japan|zTokyo.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204835 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBorovoy, Amy Beth.|tToo-good wife. |dBerkeley : University of California Press, ©2005 |z0520244516|z0520244524|w(DLC) 2004029705 |w(OCoLC)57285881 830 0 Ethnographic studies in subjectivity ;|v6. 914 ocm62196238 994 93|bGTK
