Good Enough Parent by Bruno Bettelheim
In this book, the preeminent child psychologist of our time gives us the results of his lifelong effort to determine what is most crucial in successful child-rearing. His purpose is not to give parents preset rules for raising their children, but rather to show them how to develop their own insights so that they will understand their own and their children's behavior in different situations and how to cope with it. Above all, he warns, parents must not indulge their impulse to try to create the child they would like to have, but should instead help each child fully develop into the person he or she would like to be.Bruno Bettelheim was born in the city of Vienna in the year 1903. After a year in the concentration camps of Dachau and Buchenwald, he got his doctorate at the University of Vienna and immigrated to America in 1939. He was a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Chicago, as well as a professor of psychology and psychiatry. In 1990, he passed away.
