Eberstadt argues, first, that many of the ills that afflict American children are due to the absence of their parents, and second, that the real cause has been largely ignored because of ideological and psychological reluctance to confront the failure of "separationism" - the belief "that women's freedom to work in the paid marketplace justifies separation from their children." Some interesting observations:Įberstadt makes a powerful case that disorders are overdiagnosed and that the psychotropic drugs used to treat them - which are so hard on the children, who are their harshest critics - are overprescribed. Carolyn Graglia's powerful review of a powerful book, Mary Eberstadt's Home Alone America.
