Summary
Details

In Complete Without Kids, clinical psychologist Ellen L. Walker examines the often-ignored question of what it means to be childfree, by choice or by circumstance, in a family-focused society. Recognizing that there is no one type of childfree adult, the author guides the reader through the positive and negative aspects of childfree living, taking into consideration the different issues faces by men or women, couples or singles, gay or straight.

As a woman who is childfree by choice, Walker draws upon her personal experience while also offering the reader numerous interviews with other childfree adults, revealing behind the scenes factors that influenced their personal journeys. She approaches the tough decision-making process of whether or not to have children from a biological, historical, and societal perspective, offering valuable information on:

- The unique set of problems that childfree adults face simply due to living in a culture that celebrates babies and traditional families.

- Methods to cope with the pressure to have children from media, family, and friends in a healthy way.

- How to create balance and approach the leisure time allowed by a childfree lifestyle.

- Financial, health, and personal benefits associated with childfree living.

Offering support and guidance, Complete Without Kids is a productive guide for the reader considering the childfree path.
