This prejudice—“childism”—legitimises and rationalises a broad continuum of acts that are not “in the best interests of children,” including the often violent extreme of child abuse and neglect. According to Young-Bruehl, reform is possible only if we acknowledge this prejudice in its basic forms and address the motives and cultural forces that drive it, rather than dwell on the various categories of abuse and punishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“There will always be individuals and societies that turn on their children,\" writes Young-Bruehl, “breaking the natural order Aristotle described two and a half millennia ago in his \u003ci\u003eNichomachean Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e.\" In \u003ci\u003eChildism,\u003c\/i\u003e Young-Bruehl focuses especially on the ways in which Americans have departed from the child-supportive trends of the Great Society and of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany years in the making, \u003ci\u003eChildism\u003c\/i\u003e draws upon a wide range of sources, from the literary and philosophical to the legal and psychoanalytic.
