Product Description
Product Description
"Most of us are unaware of child neglect even when we are witnessing it. . . . Neglect is a matter of things undone, of inaction compounded by indifference. Since it goes on at home, it is a very private sin. . . . It is little wonder that most of the public is unaware of poor child caring. Its ignorance is even greater as to how widespread the problem is. But this is not a blissful ignorance. The public may not want to attend to child neglect, but it lives with the distortions of human personality that are left in its wake."--from chapter 1 of "Damaged Parents
"
"Norman Polansky and his colleagues have produced a truly remarkable book. . . . One of the consequences of [the] relative invisibility of child neglect is that we also know less about it. But this book will help to correct that for it contains reports of findings from two systematic efforts to define, measure, classify, and understand child neglect."--Thomas M. Young, "Social Service Review"

Outstanding explanation of damaged parents & harm they do
22 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the best book on damaged parents and the damage they do that I've ever read, and I have a master's degree in social work. This book is not afraid to talk about character and character defects. I appreciated the honesty. No lying and no bureaucratese.
