Professional Identity Crisis
Teratology

An analysis of 235 teratological articles published in theJournal of Obstetrics and Gynæcology of the British Empirefrom 1…

Udry's work is part of a long scientific tradition-that of biologic…

The lesbian, gay and bisexual parents studied were willing actively to foster a sexual identity different from their own in their children. This illustrates that parents may seek to shape the process of internalization so that th…
