Description: Written by a clinical family/child psychologist and LGBTQ+ mother of two, Dr. Bethany Cook, For What It’s Worth weaves together personal and professional stories with proven science through the lens of a “woke” woman and takes the reader on a multidimensional deep dive into parenting that is both educational and interesting to the sleep deprived and marginalized parent. In For What It’s Worth, Dr. Cook addresses such timely topics as:
- Non-traditional baby making (IVF and IUI)
- Diversity and families, same-sex parenting, multicultural parenting
- Sleep deprivation and its impact on parents
- Communicating effectively with your co-parent
- Sex drive after baby, and how to deal with changes in romantic relationships
- Coping with loss of identity and baby blues
- Comparisons will kill the parenting vibe (stop comparing yourself to the Duchess of Cambridge!)
For anyone who is – or knows someone who is – expecting, or has recently added a new baby to their life and is feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated or just lost, this is the book for you.
Through humor and brave self-disclosure the author, a clinical psychologist, realizes that even though she has the “book smarts,” sometimes the practical application of psychological theory gets lost in translation when it comes to babies and young children.
Dr. Cook weaves together personal and professional stories with proven science through the lens of a “woke” woman. She takes the reader on a multi-dimensional deep dive into parenting which is both educational and interesting to the sleep deprived and marginalized parent.
This book is laced with many laugh-out-loud moments which are in and of themselves therapeutic and cathartic to all parents everywhere.
Bethany L. Cook PsyD. MT-BC
She has over 20 years of clinical experience working in the mental health field. Her religious upbringing provided extensive “hands-on practice” and exposure to not only babies and children, but also the generational knowledge passed down through the women in the community.
At present, Dr. Cook lives in Chicago with her life-partner (married in 2008), two children and our two dogs.
