Does it make you a better parent if you have pioneered scientific
theories of child development? In a unique study, David Cohen
compares what great psychologists have said about raising children
and the way they did it themselves. Did the experts practice what
they preached? Using an eclectic variety of sources, from letters,
diaries, autobiographies, biographies, as well as material from
interviews, each chapter focuses on a key figure in historical
context. There are many surprises. Was Piaget, the greatest child
psychologist of the 20th century, the only man to try to
psychoanalyse his mother? How many sons of great gurus have had to
rescue their father from a police station as R.D Laing's son did?
And why did Melanie Klein's daughter wear red shoes they day her
mother died? The book covers early scientists such as Darwin,
psychoanalysists such as Freud and Jung, to founders of
developmental psychology including Piaget and Bowlby as well as Dr
Spock. It gives a vivid, dramatic and often entertaining insight
into the family lives of these great psychologists. It highlights
their ideas and theories alongside their behaviour as parents, and
reveals the impact of their parenting on their children. Close
bonds, fraught relationships and family drama are described against
a backdrop of scientific development as the discipline of
psychology evolves. Great Psychologists as Parents will be
absorbing reading for students in childhood studies, education and
psychology and practitioners in psychology and psychoanalysis. It
will also interest general readers looking for a parenting book
with a difference.
