A Serious Case of Neglect: The Parental Experience of Child Rearing: Outline for a Psychological Theory of Parenting de Alice van der Pas

A Serious Case of Neglect: The Parental Experience of Child Rearing: Outline for a Psychological Theory of Parenting

Autor Alice van der Pas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 2004
These days we hear a great deal about child development and child rearing, but it almost exclusively focuses on the child’s remembered experiences and actions. A Serious Case of Neglect seeks to redress this one-sided perspective with a carefully considered theory of parenting and an in-depth analysis of the parenting role. Drawing on over thirty years of experience as a family counselor and therapist, Alice van der Pas illustrates her theory with clinical examples and develops a conceptual framework that breaks down the elements involved in the development of a good parent. This book is an intriguing work in family psychology that sheds new light on an issue rarely navigated from the perspective of the parent.

Recenzii

"Van der Pas aims to develop a process theory of parenting which does justice to what parents accomplish, while not neglecting their weaknesses and failures. . . This book is too good to lay aside--a must read for those who work with parents, students and teachers of psychology"

"The passion which one senses throughout the entire book, the will to develop quality services for parents, without excluding anyone--parent or child--a professional seriousness which draws on thorough knowledge of the literature and on critical reflection: these make the reader feel good"

"She has discovered what every parent knows, though often cannot articulate or accept about themselves. . . Her writing can evoke nostalgia, a reappreciation of one's personal past, making this book valuable on another level"
