Critically acclaimed and highly authoritative collection of parenting issues, featuring a unique balance of practical and scholarly information. This illustrated, A–Z encyclopedia on parenthood in America offers fresh insights and solid information, all based on the latest research. Parenthood in America is the work of the nation's real authorities, the heavy-hitters in psychology, health, sociology, anthropology, and family history. It aims to fill the gap between how-to books (which generally blend popular notions and authors' pet theories) and specialized texts aimed at scholars. Parents, teachers, students, and professionals working in the field will find something here to inform, surprise, and even entertain. Entries are concise, carefully illustrated, and accompanied by suggestions for further reading. Readers will find entries on the superstars of the field, both popular (Dr. Spock, Dr. Seuss, Mr. Rogers) and scholarly (Ainsworth, Bowlby, Erikson).

In this outgrowth of a conference called Parenthood in America, held at in April 1998, Westman (emeritus, psychiatry, U. of Wisconsin Medical School) identifies the parent-child relationship as the fundamental institution in our society, one that fosters a lifelong ability to form and sustain intimate relationships and be a thoughtful, moral person. He argues for a shift in thinking toward the use of quality of life, rather than material achievement, as the central measure of success. The work's 23 articles bring insights from research to bear on the practical aspects of childrearing and on policies that influence the context in which parenting occurs in the home and in the community.
