An American pediatrician, author, and political activist whose best-selling book, The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care (1946), sharply redefined the course of child care during the baby boom after World War II. Benjamin McLane Spock was born 2nd May 1903 in New Haven, Connecticut. He studied at Yale University in New Haven and received his medical degree from Columbia University in New York City in 1929. After practicing and teaching pediatrics at New York Hospital and Cornell Medical College, he set up his own practice in 1933. In 1943 Spock began writing The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care, which was published in 1946. Spock's guidebook on child rearing broke dramatically from accepted practices that favored rigid feeding habits and considered hugging children inappropriate. Spock encouraged parents to be flexible with their children and to show them greater affection. The book was enormously popular, selling more than one million copies a year initially. By 1998 it had sold more than 50 million copies and been translated into nearly 40 languages. Spock's approach to child care also prompted controversy. During the political and social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s, conservative critics blamed Spock's advice for a breakdown in conventional morality. Some argued that the revolutionary attitudes of that time were a result of his advocacy of a “permissive” approach to child rearing.
He died on March 15, 1998, La Jolla, California, United States.
