More about the book

Exploring the intersection of culture and child-rearing practices, this volume addresses how factors like poverty, ethnicity, and immigrant status influence children's experiences. Eight distinguished psychoanalysts delve into the unique child-rearing approaches within African-American, Indian, and Japanese families, blending historical context, ethnographic insights, and clinical observations. The authors examine the complexities of socioeconomic class versus race, and the challenges of generational conflicts faced by families in diverse cultural settings, fostering a deeper understanding of these dynamics.
