Psychological Impact of Women's Name Change at Marriage: Literature Review and Implications for Further Study.

Dralle, Penelope Wasson; Mackiewicz, Kathelynne

American Journal of Family Therapy, v9 n3 p50-55 Fall 1981

Reviewed the published research on the psychological significance of names and name changes. Found little data pertaining to the implications of a woman changing or retaining her surname at marriage. Suggests such research would have relevance for individual personality development, marital and family relationships, and social and cultural systems. (Author)
