Emotional Rescue Reviews

...A refreshing dose of epistemologically significant 'reality scholarship' that shreds the vaunted veil of the passive voice of academia. -- Maurice Hamington, ypatia
This path-breaking book should be read by anyone interested in feminist theory, parenting theory, parenting practice, or the links between them. -- Sandra Lee Bartky, University of Illinois at Chicago
I couldn't put the book down. Both in its content and its form, this book is feminist theory, psychoanalytic theory, and 'men's studies' at their very best. -- Sandra Harding, UCLA
Endeavoring to bring closure to fourteen years of research and to synthesize two previous attempts to write a critical theory of Western child rearing, Balbus here seeks to examine the enormous impact of Benjamin Spock on families in the United States, analyze his own practice as a father, and answer the Marcusean question of what it means to be a radical intellectual by demonstrating the link between enlightenment and embodiment. -- SIGNS, Summer 2002
By making himself the case study for his own project, Balbus has taken a brave step in the effort to break down the walls between theory and practice. -- SIGNS
