Product Description

Review

"[A] richly evocative book. . . . This moving book is a pleasure to read; it deepens our emotional knowledge of the 'haunted' patient, and our understanding of the nature of the universal struggle that the need for change presents." -- Richard Zimmer "International Journal of Psychoanalysis" (09/01/2008)

Product Description

In this book, the eminent psychoanalyst Leonard Shengold looks at why some people are resistant to change, even when it seems to promise a change for the better. Drawing on a lifetime of clinical experience as well as wide readings of world literature, Shengold shows how early childhood relationships with parents can lead to a powerful conviction that change means loss. Dr. Shengold, who is well known for his work on the lasting affects of childhood trauma and child abuse in such seminal books as "Soul Murder" and "Soul Murder Revisited", continues his exploration into the consequences of early psychological injury and loss. In the examples of his patients and in the lives and work of such figures as Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Wordsworth, and Henrik Ibsen, Shengold looks at the different ways in which unconscious impressions connected with early experiences and fantasies about parents are integrated into individual lives. He shows the difficulties he encounters with his patients in raising these memories to the conscious level where they can be known and owned; and he also shows, in his survey of literary figures, how these memories can become part of the creative process. "Haunted by Parents" offers a deeply humane reflection on the values and limitations of therapy, on memory and the lingering effects of the past, and on the possibility of recognizing the promise of the future.

Advanced work demonstrating results of ineffective parenting 29 July 2010
By C. Roy Argall - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As Shengold went on his writing became more clear and easier to read. All of his books are enlightening. Very clear examples of how adults affect children.
