"THERE was a time when we thought humans were special in so many ways. Now we know better. We are not the only species that feels emotions, empathises with others or abides by a moral code. Neither are we the only ones with personalities, cultures and the ability to design and use tools. Yet we have steadfastly clung to the notion that one attribute, at least, makes us unique: we alone have the capacity for language."

Pitzer presents a balanced, thoughtful view on the effects of spanking (especially) on children, both its effectiveness and its consequences for the child. He does not believe the research is sufficient to support a policy of NO spanking ever, but he leans in that direction. He also presents more background information and an extensive bibliography about spanking and corporal punishment in the Table of Contents link.
