This book proposes new perspectives on relational wellness and the contemporary
family-combining a psychoanalytic overview with scientific research about the burgeoning
popularity of divorce the increase in stepfamilies and the use of social networks as well as
other technologies. In this day and age psychoanalysis has become increasingly interested in
hyper-modern scenarios for example social networks and apps provide matching algorithms
which allow users to connect with people of similar interests. These networks have become one
of the places where dissatisfied partners seek more satisfactory situations. In the United
Kingdom cohabitation lasts for up to two years on average and 40% of marriages end in
divorce. In the United States the percentage rises: it has now reached 50%. Today the value of
temporariness in which everything is fragmented is exalted. On the other hand is it wrong to
deny the natural ebb and flow of human feeling?
