- Summary:
- Weaving personal narrative with a synthesis of feminist mothering theory and psychoanalytic theories of narcissism, Isaac D. Balbus describes his effort to share in the care of his daughter during her first four years. "Emotional Rescue" is a poignant reflection on the connections between the problems in his child-rearing practice and the development of his child-rearing theory.
