Psychological Regimes of Truth and Father Identity: Challenges for Work/Life Integration
基于案例研究，分析西方职场男性在追求工作与生活平衡时，面临的心理机制和父亲身份的文化约束，指出主流心理学话语并未提供支持这种平衡的身份认同。
Based on a case study, this paper elaborates on the psychological regimes of truth that organize and regulate male parenting and partly constitute the conditions of possibility for male identity and subjectivity both as fathers and employees. The aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the discursive-cultural constraints that Western managers and employees — males in particular — may face when trying to pursue a better work/life balance. Based on an empirical analysis of expert literature on male parenting, the paper argues that prevalent psychological regimes of truth about fathers and fathering do not necessarily render enactable the sorts of identities that enable both men and women to achieve a better work/life balance.
