Question 2

Identify, then explain, in your own words, the three types of parenting that Lidz identified as contributing to the development of mental health issues later in life.

Accepted Answer

Varies. The first type of deficient parenting identified by Lidz as contributing to mental health issues later in life is "deficiency in parental nurturing of the child, which leads the child to have severe difficulty in achieving autonomy in the sense of adequate independence and ability to take responsibility." This describes a parent that is unable to provide the love and affection a child needs to feel secure. This lack of emotional nurturing can decrease a child's ability to take responsibility for their own actions and to achieve independence. The second type of deficient parenting identified by Lidz involves "defective socialization of the child by the family as a social institution. The integrated development of the child, the learning of appropriate age and gender roles, and the achievement of an integrated ego structure are consequently blocked." This describes a deficiency in teaching a child the basic norms, values, and beliefs they need to function in society, including age-related norms and gender-related norms. If the parent or parents teach their children dysfunctional behaviors, the ability of the child to navigate conventional society is impacted. The third deficient type of parenting identified by Lidz is the "defective transmission by the family of basic communicative and other instrumental cultural techniques to the child." This describes the failure of a parent or parents to teach their children how to speak and how to make and interpret commonly encountered forms of nonverbal communication. If a child is unable to communicate in a way that other people can interpret, their ability to interact with the people around them is impacted.
