内容説明

This human interest book describes the various aspects of children's effects on their parents. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, child effect is examined from the point of view of sociology, psychology, psychiatry, delinquency, and even literary criticism, as well as others. Also used is a multi-level approach, whereby parental and child characteristics interact with the quality of social response to produce, or present, negative or positive child effect. In addition to the multidisiplinary approach, several chapters present actual studies illustrating specific themes in child effect. These studies range from child effect on divorced parents, students' reflections of childhood and the effect they have had on their parents, and the role of children in defining their mother's premenstrual syndrome, to the effect on mothers of caring at home for chronically ill children and the effect on mothers and children belonging to interracial families in a racist society. "The Effect of Children on Parents" has a feminist orientation in most chapters, which, combined with the interdisciplinary approach, aims to provide a comprehensive and advanced introduction to the subject.
