Healing the Unaffirmed: Recognizing Emotional Deprivation Disorder

Rating:
Summary: Healing and Hope for the Unloved and Unaffirmed
Review: An excellent book revealing the importance of unconditional love and affirmation in one's life. Baars & Terruwe describe the discovery and symptoms of Emotional Deprivation Disorder -- a syndrome which results from a lack of unconditional love and emotional strengthening in one's life. EDD manifests itself with symptoms such as feelings of loneliness, insecurity, insignificance, and worthlessness. Unaffirmed persons generally feel unwanted, unloved, inferior, depressed, afraid of the world, oversensitive, unlovable, and unable to make friends and relate to others. This results in an emotional prison which is only able to be opened from the outside -- by another person giving unselfish, unconditional, authentic love. To be healed, the individual must feel worthwhile to another person, loved, and understood. Truly an important book for our time -- a time when so many are deprived of the emotional affirmation and love that they need.

Review: I would highly recommend this book to anyone even though they are not suffering from emotional disorder but could understand others better. This book has changed how I feel about myself, and I can finally understand and identify with so many things that didn't make sense as to why I was feeling so badly about myself and had several depressions. A plus for anyone's library. I have bought one for my brother as I'm keeping mine as a reference.
