Description

"Westman (psychiatry, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) advocates eliminating the enormous waste of human and economic resources that results from incompetent parents who spawn society's criminal and welfare dependency problems, by licensing parents. He presents a multi-level approach to families that demonstrates society's respect for parenting and provides help for floundering parents, and calls for national policies that support parenting." -amazon.com
