About the Book

This book addresses the dilemma created by the discrepancy between our efforts to prevent adolescent pregnancy and our support of adolescent parenthood, which the author argues is America's greatest unrecognized public health crisis. It is the most preventable cause of crime and welfare dependency, and because we hold no expectations for parents who conceive and give birth to children, rates of child neglect and abuse in the United States far exceed those of other developed nations. Westman explores the circumstances and values that make motherhood seem to be girls' best option and that induce males to conceive without the ability to support their children. It proposes a feasible legal procedure as the basis for ensuring that adolescents' babies have competent parents with the resources and environments they need.

Review :
Seldom do we see someone analyze social problems, review the relevant research, and offer practical solutions as compellingly…His insights no doubt derive from a unique combination of clinical, teaching, and research experience. Offers the child advocate a solid foundation for doing good. It is grounded in research and theory and in profoundly 'pro-child' values. Please listen to perhaps the only person in America who has the knowledge and the answers…If everyone in government did, our prisons would be virtually empty in twenty years. And, childhood would again be a time of joy, instead of the nightmare is now is for too many children. This extensive volume clearly presents, in ten parts, information that describes the situation, presents a foundation based on chaos/complexity theory, examines the developmental process of adolescence, considers the dynamics of adolescent parenthood, and explores the influence of families, communities, culture, and society on adolescent parents. . . . The complexity of the teenage parenting problem is evident in the scope of material provided, featured here in a clearly written format with extensive references. Recommended. Expanding beyond its title's scope, this holistic analysis of key issues for American adolescents benefits professionals who work in any capacity with youth and families…. Westman's views could transform the approach to parenthood in America. A tour de force…the first 360-degree examination of adolescent parenting - - looking at its social, cultural, and biological roots; its consequences for not only the adolescent mother, but also the generations on either side of her; and strategies for preventing adolescent childbearing, as well as for creating nurturing environments for children who are born to adolescent parents.
