This book attempts to comprehend how parents’ misunderstanding can induce loneliness and helplessness in children that with time will become traumatic, and will remain unconsciously present in all of us forever. It will continue to repeat using infantile emotions, children forms of thinking and experiencing, loneliness, anxiety, depression, fears, and the chronic need of finding a ‘rescuer’ in the form of power, fame, drugs, money, religion, and so on. This very innovative approach to the understanding of children’s segregation and its repercussion on adult’s emotional life will be of invaluable interest to all practicing psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and parents included.
