About This Item
Nashville, TN, U.S.A.: Abingdon Press, 1988. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. As a child, he was brutally abused - a nightmare he chronicled with searing immediacy in the awrd winning Cry Out! and its sequel, Renegade Saint. Now, in Spare the Rod, Phil Quinn urgently calls for an end to child abuse and family violence. Combining the insights born of his own tragedy with much new information and current statistics, Quinn shows: why child abuse occurs; how it is perpetrated in society; why attempts to stop it after it has occurred are so futile; why prevention is the most effective cure. Sweeping aside popular my ths such as "spare the rod and spoil the child," Quinn persuasively argues that hitting children - even in acceptable ways like spanking - is never justified as a parenting technique. He offers a doz e n reasons for taking this stand, all fo which are carefully reasoned and clearly explained. 192 pages..
