Summary: Incredible book on childhood devt and adult relationships
Review: Althea Horner writes mostly for psychologists, but she has written this book for the layperson. It is, however, dense reading in which you must understand each sentence or you begin to get lost. Don't let that deter you, however. This book is well worth reading.

Horner's discussions of adult emotional problems and their roots in early childhood development are incredibly insightful. If you are a fan of Erik Erikson, and inner child work, you must read this book. You will see yourself, your friends and family reflected in many pages of this book. She has a great chapter on "Do I need to see a therapist?" Highly recommended.

Summary: A must have for anyone interested in inner child work.
Review: Althea Horner writes mostly for psychologists, but she has written this book for the layperson. It is, however, dense reading in which you must understand each sentence or you get instantly lost. Her discussions of adult emotional problems and their roots in early childhood development are incredibly insightful.

You will see yourself, your friends and family reflected in many pages of this book. Has a noteworthy, and non-superficial chapter on "Do I need to get counseling or not?" If you love material by Erik Erikson, Gale Sheehy, or John Bradshaw, you may want to check this out. Highly recommended.

Review: The book was said to be the 1999 edition. The one I got was the 1990 edition. I did NOT want that one.
