Benjamin Spock

Benjamin Spock researched childhood care.  He believed that a permissive approach to raising a child would have a more successful result which would produce successful, confident adults.  He encouraged parents to be loving, flexible and supportive.  He would have taken interest in Bruce Banner's poor parental guidance.  He could have used Bruce's family as an example to show that poor parenting will result in an unhappy child.  Bruce lived his life constantly stressed and angry, a result of his father's abuse and mother's death.  Spock would have seen this result, which would support his theory.
