Obviously psychobabble .. it's by an MD who is probably very well versed in his/her field of specialty but this is not one of them! Interesting how the "fork" was described - "culture" pushing a boy away from the mother, given that there is a classic Freudian interpretation for the distancing (Allen is the expert, I won't attempt to even summarize it). I also get ticked off whenever I hear about the "revolution" in fathering - I wish I had $.05 for every revolution that wasn't. Not that I am against nurturing fathers, I am quite familar with single father parenting .... but once, just once, I would like to see the issue discussed with real data ....
