Benjamin Spock (May 2, 1903 – March 15, 1998) was an American pediatrician best known for his book, 'The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care', published in 1946, which became one of the best-selling books worldwide. He was the first pediatrician to study psychoanalysis to better understand children's needs and family dynamics. His ideas influenced generations of families to be more flexible and nurturing with their children. Despite his impact, he faced widespread criticism from contemporaries for relying heavily on anecdotal evidence instead of academic research. He was also an active participant in the New Left and anti-Vietnam War movements.
