Becoming a Parent: Contemporary Contexts and Challenges During the Transition to Parenthood McMahon Catherine A.
The contexts for becoming a parent are ever-changing, bringing new opportunities and new challenges. Drawing on a large body of theory and research, the book explores universal psychological journeys as well as the specific challenges faced by those whose pathways to parenthood are non-traditional or medically complicated. Becoming a Parent examines the transition to parenthood from diverse perspectives - it is about becoming, rather than being a parent.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood (the so-called 'fourth trimester') are discussed in detail and illustrated with case anecdotes and personal stories of people with 'high-risk' pregnancies, fathers as well as mothers, adoptive parents, and LGBTQ as It also examines the unprecedented reproductive choices in contemporary society and provides a comprehensive overview of the personal and social impact of reproductive technologies.
