Research into parent-child relationships is a diverse field of
inquiry, attracting investigators from a variety of disciplines and
subdisciplines. This book integrates and synthesizes the literature
by focusing on issues concerning the parent. The text is organized
around four key questions: What determines parental behavior? What
are the effects of parenting on children? What makes some parents
more effective than others? Why do some parents maltreat their
children? George Holden adopts a dynamic rather than a static
perspective on parenting. This dynamic approach reflects parents'
capacity to modify their behavior as they respond to changes in
their children and in their own lives. Throughout the text,
historical antecedents as well as methodological and theoretical
issues are highlighted. Although the book is designed for advanced
courses focusing on the parent child relationship, it also rovides
a good overview for those interested in current research concerning
parenting.
