Benjamin McLane Spock was an American pediatrician renowned for his groundbreaking book Baby and Child Care. He was a pioneer in using psychoanalysis to comprehend children’s requirements and family interactions. Spock advocated for parents to adopt a more flexible and loving approach towards their children, valuing them as unique individuals. Despite facing criticism for the lack of scholarly evidence in his theories, Spock’s ideas had a lasting impact on parenting practices for generations. Later in his career, he transitioned into left-wing political activism, even running for President in 1972 with a platform centered on social reforms and anti-war advocacy.
