The Primal Wound: Understanding the Adopted Child by Nancy Newton Verrier
This influential book has profoundly impacted the way people think about adopted children, exploring the lifelong consequences of the 'primal wound' - the emotional scar caused by separation from one's mother. Verrier examines the effects of this wound through extensive research in psychology, attachment, bonding, and loss.
Through her thorough analysis, Verrier sheds light on the complex needs of adopted individuals, providing a deeper understanding of their experiences and the importance of therapeutic support.
