He was an American pediatrician whose book Baby and Child Care, published in 1946, is one of the biggest best-sellers of all time. Throughout its first 52 years, Baby and Child Care was the second-best-selling book, next to the Bible.

The product I received is the much less exciting 1976 revised edition of the book. I am HUGELY disappointed. I specifically need the 1946 copy and was thrilled to find out that it was available for such a reasonable price. Original copies are not easy to come by, and as a historian, edition dates matter. I won't return this book because it's too much of a hassle, but I would never have purposely bought this edition. FALSE advertising.

THUMBS DOWN! How Dr. Spock destroyed America How Dr. Spock destroyed America Exclusive: Reb Bradley asserts author's child-care book cultivated narcissism in millions Published: 01/27/2009 at 12:00 AM Print In the last 50 years, our nation has taken a moral nosedive. Since 1960, the rate of violent crimes has more than tripled. Every day there are news reports of heinous crimes unheard of in America a generation ago. Children murder their playmates, their teachers and their parents. Teenage mothers abandon their newborn babies in trashcans, and every year students commit carnage on their classmates. Our culture has sunk so low that children are no longer safe with their teachers in school or at church – scores of men and women are arrested every year for preying on the children under their care. The sexual revolution that started in the ’60s continues with many casualties. Promiscuity has become so rampant that 1 of every 4 teenage girls now has a sexually transmitted infection.

In the last five decades, practices have become so deviant that the number of distinct STDs had risen from five to more than 50 – a sudden increase of a thousand percent. Obsession with sexual violence has brought a 318 percent increase in sexual assault. Our nation is in severe moral decline, and the descent is not slowing. The root cause of decline in America is not that difficult to deduce. When a society becomes out of control, it is because its members elevate self-indulgence and lack self-control. It really is that simple. In the last 50 years, human nature has not changed. Selfishness, lust, covetousness and all other passions are in the human heart at birth. It is only a trained proclivity to say NO to our natural drives that keeps our passions in check – self-control is what stops us from stealing, murdering and committing adultery. It is parents who must instill this important quality in each generation. History and common sense teach us that the society in which children are not taught to keep control of their passions is destined to moral disintegration.

In America the reason that baby boomers and their children have grown up with less mastery over their passions than previous generations is because in the late ’40s a new voice of authority on parenting rose to prominence, and parents of the ’50s and ’60s began to raise children differently than before. In 1946, Dr. Benjamin Spock first published his infamous book “Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care,” which was unlike any that came before it. Instead of stressing the importance of teaching self-denial and respect for authority, Spock discouraged directive training and emphasized accommodating children’s feelings and catering to their preferences. No longer did children learn they could endure Brussels sprouts and suffer through daily chores. Using Spock’s approach, parents began to feed self-indulgence instead of instilling self-control – homes were becoming child-centered. As parents elevated children’s “freedom of expression” and natural cravings, children became more outspoken, defiant and demanding of gratification. In fact, they came to view gratification as a right. Spock wrote his book in response to a cold, authoritarian philosophy of parenting that had been dominant in America.

For years, parents had been told to withhold affection from their children – not to touch them too often – not to respond to their tears. Understanding of children had not been encouraged, and fathers had held a minor role in their nurture and care. These things distressed Spock, and they would have upset me had I been born back then. Children need our tender affection, understanding and respect. However, Spock’s solutions reflected total ignorance of the hedonistic bent of human nature and fostered an over-exalted sense of self-importance in children. Homes became hotbeds for narcissism, entitlement and victim thinking. In the early ’60s, under Spock’s influence, parents were watching their children become sassy and contentious, and increasing numbers were seeing them become juvenile delinquents and criminals. As the crime rate started to crawl up, SAT scores began to drop. Teenagers began to exercise less moral restraint and revealed an increasing contempt for authority. The free-love hippy movement and student protests were inevitable for children who had been raised to think too highly of themselves. Is it any surprise that Spock himself participated in protests and was arrested in 1968 because of his contempt for governmental authority?

In 1972, Spock’s imbalanced view of child rearing became greatly apparent when he entered the presidential race as the candidate for the socialistic People’s Party. Anyone who embraces socialism is clueless to a key element of proper parenting – personal responsibility. What Spock’s actions reveal about the weaknesses of his philosophies is obvious, but some doubt that Spock’s influence was that pervasive. However, in the first year, his book sold 750,000 copies, and within six years it sold more than 4 million. It has since sold over 50 million and has been translated into more than 40 languages. According to Dr. Spock’s website, it is second in sales only to the Bible. Life magazine certified the depth of his influence, naming Spock among the 100 most important people of the 20th century. Even Dr. Spock was aware of his negative influence upon parents. In a 1968 interview with the New York Times, Spock admitted that his first edition of “Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care” contributed to an increase of permissive parenting in America.

“Parents began to be afraid to impose on the child in any way,” he said. In his 1957 edition, he tried to remedy that by emphasizing the need for setting standards and asking for respect. Unfortunately, Spock failed to see the deeper problems of his philosophy, so subsequent editions continued to cultivate narcissism. As Spock’s radical parenting ideas grew in popularity, other “experts” jumped on the bandwagon and promoted their own versions of indulgent child rearing. Since 1946, parenting approaches that foster narcissism and contempt for authority have become the accepted norm in higher education and subsequently, in society. It is a simple matter to trace the dominant hedonism of our culture back to Spock’s influence. And since the parenting we receive in childhood develops the worldview we hold as adults, Spock influenced not only how American’s conduct themselves in society, but how they approach government as well. Interestingly enough, in the 1968 New York Times interview, Spock admitted that he would “be proud if the idealism and militancy of youth today were caused by my book.” Raising children to adulthood with a defiant attitude toward authority was apparently one of his goals.

Spock died in 1998, and my intent is not to malign a man in the grave – it is to rescue America before we expire from moral disintegration. We must, therefore, identify and abandon the polluted well from which we have been drinking. Those interested in repairing the damage done by Spock, both in the family and in society at large, will want to read “Born Liberal Raised Right: How to Rescue America from Moral Decline – One Family at a Time.” It lays out a clear analysis of the problem and a simple plan for recovery.

From an initial print run of 10,000 the book went on to sell more than 50 million copies and was translated into 40 languages, making it approximately a quarter as successful as “The DaVinci Code”. Critics initially dismissed the work and later blamed its success for the excesses of the 1960’s and 70’s. However, the life of almost every child in the western hemisphere was influenced by this seminal tome and its teachings were adopted by the parents of a host of future stars of the political, sporting and entertainment worlds. The subsequent careers of Bill Clinton , O.J.

Simpson , Sid Vicious , Britney Spears , Eminem , Tony Blair and Dennis Rodman give the lie to the Neo-Con claim that the book promoted permissiveness and was responsible for the lack of moral character in the current generation. But just where did the ideas in this book come from and how did it come to be written? Contents [ show ] The Author At the age of six Spock demonstrated uncanny mind control ability by teaching his rat the traditional Vulcan salute The man who was to become Dr. Spock was born in 1903 to Sarek, Vulcan ambassador to the United Nations , and human Mildred Stoughton Spock. He was given a name generally considered to be unpronounceable by humans but adopted the name Benjamin to avoid being beaten up at school . As the oldest child , Spock was expected by his parents to help with the care of his five younger siblings and to protect them from Romulan slaving raids. It is thought that it was these early experiences which inspired his twin passions: child rearing and StarFleet. From an early age Spock seemed an almost preternaturally mature child and chafed at the conventions imposed on him by attending a regular prep school.

He learned from his father that Vulcan boys may take the test for adulthood (the "Kahs-wan") at any age by surviving alone in the wilderness for some days and wrestling the carnivorous and venomous Le-Mataya beast. At the age of seven, and stuck in New Haven, Spock took the cross town trolley bus to the zoological gardens and climbed into the petting zoo. Here he attempted to wrestle first a prairie dog and later a llama . When neither chose to fight back he slipped between the bars of the Polar Bear enclosure and was almost killed. Only the intervention of the pet rat he had brought with him saved him. Spock retrieved the rat (also called Ben) from the Polar Bear's throat where it had had lodged, choking the bear to death . Faced with the stark choice of a painfully extended life or a peaceful release for the rodent, Spock logically opted for the latter. That decision marked his choice to follow the philosophy of Surak (logic and emotional control), sparked an interest in healing and confirmed the need to buy larger pets with bigger teeth.

At nine, despite still being at school , Spock was bonded to T’Pring in a Vulcan ceremony described in human terms as “less than a marriage, but more than a betrothal. Kind of like getting your kids to shack up together at an inappropriate age.” Sarek was later arrested for offering photographs of the wedding night for sale and only his diplomatic immunity saved him from imprisonment in a pedophile unit. Young Spock was now even more responsible for his younger siblings and it is not fanciful to believe that the genesis of his famous book lies in this sad episode. Young Spock's defiant stage following his father's departure coincided with several teaching staff at Spock's Junior High School perishing from suspected "Death Grippe". Despite the harrowing nature of his upbringing, young Spock thrived at school, his logical bent lending itself to Mathematics , Science and Metalwork . Though he was subject to merciless bullying on account of his ears, Spock appears to have survived his early years better than many of his tormentors. In particular, a mysterious out-break of fatal illness (thought to be a variety of influenza first identified in France earlier that year) claimed several childhood friends.

Spock appears to have survived unscathed from this terryifying incident but at least 8 of his class-mates perished of the mysterious “Death Grippe”, often with no obvious symptom except small finger-shaped bruising on their shoulders. Having graduated High School top of his year (many of his rivals having fallen prey to the mysterious Death Grippe) he received his undergraduate education at Yale where he became a member of Scroll and Key and the Swilly McBlowchunks Kegging Society. At university he was a keen rower, becoming a member of the U.S. Olympic team. At the 1924 Paris games Spock won a Gold medal and was hailed as a national hero despite suspicions that he may have used his psionic abilities to disrupt the concentration of the British and German eights. Following graduation Spock attended medical school, graduating in 1929 , and did his residency training in paediatrics, apparently having misunderstood his mother’s explanation of Sarek’s keen interest in children . Following graduation he spent some time in Europe absorbing the culture and apparently working in a German orphanage.

In 1942 he attempted to become a conscientious objector , denying that he was a coward and insisting instead that “War is illogical”. When this failed to convince the draft board, he made one final protestation that “Violence will solve nothing” before agreeing to found the US Army’s small but influential child psychology unit. It was here that he began to write the book for which he became world famous . The Book The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care was published immediately after the Second World War . In it Spock advocated ideas about parenting that were, at the time, considered out of the mainstream, though infant betrothal and fighting poisonous animals to graduate from adolescence were quietly dropped at the insistence of the publishers. The success of Dr Spock's book is measured in the tens of millions of healthy, content babies raised according to his suggestions. Over time , his books helped to bring about a major change in the opinions of parents. Previously, experts had insisted that babies needed to learn to sleep on a regular schedule. Consequently, since Victorian times parents had come to believe that picking up babies and holding them whenever they cried would only teach them to cry more and not to sleep through the night.

They were told not to mollycoddle their children because that would not prepare them to be strong and independent individuals in a harsh world . However, Spock encouraged parents to see their children as Tribbles; to think of them as small, fluffy creatures incapable of independent thought and likely to reproduce uncontrollably if not given constant attention. To wean children off constant attention as they grew older, Spock suggested investing in a Klingon Cloaking Device which would allow parents to enter the nursery, check on their child and leave without detection (unless the presence of a burglar forced them to de-cloak to fire phasers). His book's famous first line, “You know more than you think you do, despite being an irrational species” reassured parents of their competence. He encouraged parents to trust themselves and decried rigidity in scheduling and ear shapes. Parents, he said, should be reasonable, friendly, and consistent with children; stern and uncompromising with Klingon aggressors. The book was at times controversial. Spock was accused of advocating permissiveness and blamed for a perceived decline in moral standards.

Others criticized the book’s status as a bible for parents, bemoaning its influence on generations of children and complaining that not all parents had the ability to mind-meld with children refusing to eat cauliflower . On the other hand, many parents believe that the book increased their confidence. Women especially found Spock’s assurance that a layer of aluminium foil at the bottom of a cot would block harmful Tachyon emissions from the then newly-invented television very reassuring. His assertion that it was acceptable to be irritated or impatient with nursery rhymes that defied logic was a breath of fresh air . For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care . “Even though the Grand Old Duke of York was halfway up the hill,” he told the world “He was both halfway up and halfway down.” Controversially, he urged parents to be active in politics in their communities and in the wider solar system , to make their children’s universe a better place. He also advocated that babies should be placed face down to sleep, which many have blamed for thousands of unecessary cot-deaths but which Spock explained would better protect them from impact if there was a sudden need to jump to warp-speed.

Other Interests Spock taught child development and alien psychology at Case Western University, Ohio until 1967 when he resigned in order to devote himself to the anti-war movement following US bombing of the DMZ (De-militarised Zone) between North and South Vietnam . “I could no longer stand by and watch my native country violate the Neutral Zone with impunity,” he claimed in his autobiography. “There was little if any evidence that Viet Cong forces had been assimilated by the Borg at this time.” In 1962 Spock had joined “The Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy” which advocated unilateral nuclear disarmament for the United States in the long term and refusing to share nuclear secrets with other countries including the United States' European allies. Spock felt that nuclear proliferation in Europe would violate the Prime Directive by unnecessarily interfering with the development of primitive societies such as Britain and France . In his youth Spock's political views were less liberal and his whereabouts in early 1941 are unknown. “There’s no intelligent life over there,” he proclaimed to widespread agreement. In 1968 he and four others from the anti-war movement were prosecuted on charges of conspiracy to aid and abet draft resistance.

Their defense (that the five had never met in the same room) was dismissed when the CIA demonstrated to an amazed judge how it was possible to set up conference-calling using nothing more complicated than black and white televisions and a StarFleet Tricorder. Alone of the five Spock never served out his sentence as, despite solitary confinement in a Maximum Security Prison , his body continually pixilated out of existence and reappeared at home . In 1967 Spock had been nominated as Martin Luther King’s vice-presidential running mate. The campaign was not successful, not least due to King's assassination . Spock himself conducted an investigation of the events leading up to King's death , identifying fluctuations in the space time continuum that suggested a mini wormhole had been created opposite the Lorraine Motel, Memphis. Though police arrested Spock's suspect (an unidentified overweight Scotsman ), he pleaded the Fifth Amendment . During questioning he is reported to have admitted to sending King several threatening letters denigarting the preacher's stance on racial integration.

Asked why he had booked into a hotel across the road from King's with no luggage except a hunting rifle he would say nothing except "I could nae take it." Eventually, police charged another man, but although Spock was unhappy with the investigation, he proclaimed the process to be “Fascinating”. Despite this tragic disappointment, he became presidential candidate for the pacifist People’s Party in 1972 . Across 45 states he campaigned for increased old age pensions, universal medical insurance and free trade under the slogan “Live long and prosper”. The campaign gathered momentum for several months until his candidature was suspended by the Supreme Court who ruled that when the founding fathers had prohibited the candidature of those with alien birth, Spock was exactly what they had in mind. Denied an active role in the politics of his nation, Spock returned to work as a child psychologist, publishing several more books. Eventually, however, his public spirit and sense of duty prevailed and he became a celebrated Federation of Planets diplomat, following in his father's footsteps and helping to reunite the Romulan Empire with the Vulcans through a shared interest in innovative potty-training regimes.

Retirement Spock eventually retired in 1990 after a long and distinguished career, residing in various retirement homes in several dimensions. He has no acknowledged children of his own but is said to be very close to a silicon-based life-form he met on his travels.

"The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care has sold over 50 million copies since its publication in 1946 making it the best-selling book of the twentieth century in America, aside from the Bible" (Maier, 2003). As a practicing pediatrician in the 1930s, Spock noticed that prevailing methods in pediatric care seemed cruel and ignored the emotional needs of the child. He wanted to explore the psychological reasons behind common problems seen during practices like breastfeeding and toilet training, in order to give less arbitrary advice to mothers who came to his practice.

He thus became trained in psychoanalysis, emerging as the first pediatrician with a psychoanalytic background. Seeking useful ways to implement Freudian philosophy into child-rearing practices, Spock would try out his advice on patients and their mothers, continuously seeking their response. He contradicted contemporary norms in child care by supporting flexibility instead of rigidity and encouraging love for children by their parents.
