Toward Communal Child Rearing
Sands, Rosalind M.
Social Work, 18, 3, 54-59, May 73
Social work's preoccupation with the preservation of the nuclear family has blinded it to the necessity of finding new ways to care for children. This myopia has impeded recognition of the forces in American life that are bringing social change and new forms of child rearing. This article describes some of these phenomena and concludes that communal child rearing must be seriously considered in this country. (Author)
