from Part V - Civil Proceedings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2021
The chapter examines the role of parents in the welfare and upbringing of children, including parents’ own history and mental health and how and when psychologists might be asked to prepare a report on parenting and parent capacity. The chapter describes the changing demands as the baby grows and eventually becomes an adolescent, along with possible interventions at various ages, with attachment as a helpful overarching theory, both in the parent’s history and the current environment of the child. The importance of cultural expectations, genetics and environment are examined. Materials and measures are suggested as helpful in the reliable and valid assessment of parenting and a framework for the preparation of a report on parenting is described.
