Description
Résumé:Drawing from her clinical work with children and own childhood reflections, Dr. Lawrence underscores that the earliest sense of a "true self" is for the infant an experience of a self as "worthy of love." This self-image becomes internalized as the infant looks into the mirror of the "not too conflicted" caregiver. She stresses that love which only can exist in relationship, is a social experience, does organize social experience, outstanding among these being commitments—commitments that bind a person to a course of action and connection. Dr. Lawrence interfaces psychoanalytic wisdom with spiritual references as she describes her work with children and families.
