4.0 out of 5 stars Conversations between a psychologist and mothers of children, December 17, 2001
By 
Pamela (Dubuque, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dialogues With Mothers (Paperback)
This little book consists of conversations between a psychologist and mothers of children (yes, there are a few fathers, too). The goal is to help parents live more easily with their children, by educating them to choose the best response in daily interactions.

Bettelheim uses a sort of Socratic method to get parents to ask the "right" questions. This book makes interesting although sometimes dated reading from a childcare expert who was radical in 1962, due to his openness in discussing various topics, such as masturbation, spanking, etc. He comes off as rather benevolently patronizing to the various women with whom he speaks.

Worth adding to the parenting bookshelf!

This review is from: Dialogues With Mothers (Paperback)
I read this book when my daughter was 15 years old and at the time I wished I had known about it when she was born (1972). Now my daughter just had her first baby and I am giving it to her for the holidays.
