TY - BOOK AU - Janssen,Christophe TI - Being a Parent with and without the Other: Contradictory Demands in Our Contemporary Society PY - 2013///. N1 - 69 N2 - Starting out from two seemingly unconnected illustrations, the author seeks to think out the effects of social change on individuals’ attitudes towards parenthood. Claiming autonomy, creating and using a “co-parental ” network around the child: the aim is to measure the clinical advantages to be accrued in paying attention to the terms of encounter or non-encounter between parents’ creativity and their environment. Finally, the author gets to the stage of paraphrasing D.W. Winnicott by declaring that “there is no such a thing as a parent! ” UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-dialogue-2013-1-page-97?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
