Description
Understanding the lasting impact of early emotional neglect requires a deep understanding of the adult's inner world. This book provides therapists with a comprehensive view of the subjective experience of individuals who have been emotionally neglected in their early years, as well as theoretical models to help understand their psychological functioning.
Drawing on broad clinical experience, Kathrin A. Stauffer outlines do's and don't's of psychotherapy with clients who have experienced emotional neglect, and provides neurobiological and psychological data to assist therapists in designing effective therapeutic interventions.
With this in-depth exploration, therapists can deepen their understanding of "ignored children" and develop the skills to help them overcome lifelong consequences of a lack of early attunement.
