<< In the *lovely* book
(NOT) by Dr. Patricia Love, titled "Emotional Incest" nursing beyond one
year is included in the list of "warning signs" for Emotional Incest. So is
co-sleeping, so is home-schooling(!). Dr. Love has no citations to any
scientific research in her book, nor is there any evidence to suggest that
nursing for the normal duration for our species is a symptom of some
horribly inappropriate relationship between parent and child. However, this
book has found its way into the hands of local pediatricians who say things
to mothers like "You're *still* nursing? You know, nursing past a year is
one of the clear signs of emotional incest syndrome. You need to wean NOW."
I've even heard one person, a Ph.D. psychologist, say that the very LACK of
scientific documentation in Dr. Love's book is evidence that the information
is well-known and well-documented and widely-accepted. Duh. >>
Hmmm -- an Ezzo clone??
