The Origins of You
After tracking the lives of thousands of people from birth to midlife, four of the world’s preeminent psychologists reveal what they have learned about how humans develop. Does temperament in childhood predict adult personality? What role do parents play in shaping how a child matures? Is day care bad—or good—for children? Does adolescent delinquency forecast a life of crime? Do genes influence success in life? Is health in adulthood shaped by childhood experiences? In search of answers to these and similar questions, four leading psychologists have spent their careers studying thousands of people, observing them as they’ve grown up and grown older. The result is unprecedented insigh...

The Transition to Parenthood
More than half of marriages go into decline once a couple becomes a family. The new tensions which arise during the three years after a first baby's arrival - the division of domestic work, financial worries, chronic fatigue, and the loss of personal freedom - can rock even the happiest of marriages. In this least understood phase of the marital cycle, Belsky and Kelly's study shows that these are not pressures caused by the baby, but by five key variables which are present in a couple's relationship from the moment they meet. It is the ability to make these variables work for you which can be the difference between success and failure in the transition to parenthood.

Transitions to Parenthood
In this unusual but exciting look at a complex topic, family scholars offer a vast array of insights into the multiple consequences, concerns, and characteristics of parenthood. The transition to parenthood--the most critical step in individual and family life cycles--is thoroughly examined from a social psychological perspective. Cultural and ethnic factors are considered as major influences in the transition to parenthood, as are changing patterns in the work force, the consequences of the gender revolution, and altered patterns of marriage and divorce--all of which have shattered the traditional ways of parenting. Family theorists, practitioners, and parents are strongly encouraged to further research and discuss the necessary elements and available options involved in facing the changes brought on by parenthood.
