Mother-Infant Attachment and Psychoanalysis (eBook, PDF)

The Eyes of Shame

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the 2004 Gradiva Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis.

The book argues that shame can develop during the first six months of life through an unreflected look in the mother's eyes, and that this shame is then internalised by the infant and reverberates through its later life.
