A moth­er’s emo­tion­al and phys­i­cal pres­ence in her child’s life — espe­cial­ly in the first three years — means her child has a greater chance of grow­ing up emo­tion­al­ly healthy, hap­py, secure, and resilient. Focus­ing on the well-being of the child as well as the moth­er, this impor­tant book shows par­ents how to give their chil­dren the best chance of devel­op­ing into healthy and lov­ing adults. Based on more than two decades of clin­i­cal work, psy­cho­an­a­lyt­ic the­o­ry, and cut­ting edge neu­ro­bi­o­log­i­cal research.
