The Politics of Attachment: Personal and social influences on parenting and adult life
Lynne Murray pages 65-76
Abstract
The arguments put forward by Amitai Etzioni on the so-called ‘parenting deficit’ are assessed by Lynne Murray in relation to scientific evidence. She shows that work outside the home for mothers is usually a factor beneficial, not harmful, to children’s development. There is no evidence, she says, to support the idea that women’s ‘selfishness’ is the source of present-dayparenting problems.
