Maria Howard
reviewed Dr. Spock: An American Life on January 06, 2021 Dr. Spock: An American Life
The research for this very compelling book was phenomenal. The author really dissected the myth of the man, Dr. Spock. In some ways, I was gratified to find Spock DID give good tips. At the same time it is worrying to find how very broken the Spock home was. Ben Spock was himself from a very troubled background with a distant father and a seemingly mad mother. The pattern recurred for Spock when his wife had to be institutionalized in the late 1950's with severe mental problems, schizophrenia complicated by alcoholism as well as bi-polarism. Spock's carefully constructed facade of a happy home was a cardboard cut-out as he spent months and years away from his family, always under the guise of helping others. But in the offing he lost his family.
