Adult children of emotionally immature parents

Book • 2015
This book, written by clinical psychologist Lindsay C. Gibson, exposes the destructive nature of parents who are emotionally immature or unavailable.

It helps readers understand how such parents create a sense of neglect and provides ways to heal from the pain and confusion caused by their childhood.

The book identifies four types of difficult parents: the emotional parent, the driven parent, the passive parent, and the rejecting parent.

It offers practical advice and exercises for identifying one's true self, avoiding harmful self-images and relationships, and interacting with emotionally immature parents in a healthier manner.

The book aims to help readers recover their true nature, control their reactions to their parents, and build positive new relationships.
