Completely updated in a new third edition, Parenting: A Dynamic Process by George Holden presents research in a way that is accessible and interesting but also accurate, current, and intellectually rich. Although written from a psychological perspective, views and applications from other disciplines – including sociology, criminology, anthropology, and pediatrics – are also discussed where appropriate. The text discusses contemporary issues, such as fertility problems, daycare, marital conflict, whether or not to use physical punishment, divorce, remarriage and step-parents, gay parents, the effects of poverty, risks and benefits of media use among children, and family violence. Additionally, Holden includes selected studies from developing and non-western countries as well as recent statistics on such topics as US & world birthrate, birth problems, adolescent pregnancy, child injury, divorce and remarriage, child maltreatment, and certain social policy issues.
