Parenting Stress (Current Perspectives in Psychology)
All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress. Kirby Deater-Deckard is associate professor, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon. He has published extensively in the fields of child development, family psychology, and developmental psychology. .
