Description
People who experience emotional neglect during the first months and years of life may suffer negative consequences into adulthood. As adult psychotherapy clients, they require long-term work, delicate emotional attunement and a profound understanding of the experiences that have shaped their inner worlds. This book gives therapists an in-depth view of the subjective experience of such “ignored children” and presents a range of theoretical models for understanding key features of their psychological functioning. Kathrin A. Stauffer discusses the dos and don’ts of psychotherapy with these clients, drawing on broad clinical experience to deepen psychotherapeutic professionals’ understanding and outlining neurobiological and psychological data to help them design effective therapeutic interventions.
