Caracteristici

Draws together researchers from sociology, history, psychiatry, cultural studies, and clinical practice, intervening in unique ways in the scholarly conversation on the emotional experience of becoming a parent Offers an uncommonly cohesive look at topics that are rarely explored collectively and from an interdisciplinary perspective Bridges existing scholarship by exploring transition from pregnancy to parenthood as a process Distinctive in that each author draws on a shared set of narrative interviews with a diverse group of new parents
