In an era when teachers commonly report that up to half of the
children in their classes come from multiple homes and have
multiple caretakers, the special psychological challenges of
stepparenting have never been in greater need of examination. As
thoughtful clinicians have long known, stepparenting is among the
most complicated of psychological projects: it may simultaneously
be a multifaceted burden and a spur to personal autonomy, deepened
sensitivity to others, and newfound competence as a nurturer. Among
the thousands of divorced people who remarry each year, most -
despite their best resolve to live in the present - persist in
reassessing the price of separation, especially as they come to
appreciate the fact that divorce is seldom a total break for their
children. Stepparenting is a comprehensive exploration of the
process of reconstructing families. More specifically, it is a book
about the perils and promise of stepparenting, a caretaking role
that may be more challenging than biologically given child rearing.
Contributors follow people as they try to reevaluate past
misunderstandings and acclimate to new parenting contexts and
obligations. Editors Cath and Shopper have taken pains to offer a
balanced purview that includes both successful and maladaptive
instances of stepparenting. Of special note are the clincal
examples throughout the book that chart the extended periods of
slow, creative learning experienced by parents and children,
biological and step, as they test the waters of new family systems
and try to elicit newly attuned responses from each other.
