"""In this book, Wojtyna and Gierczyk delve into the area of emotional neglect – an area that has thus far been under-researched. Emotional neglect has widespread consequences for the development of children not only in the earlier years, but it also has far-reaching consequences and impact across multiple domains and children’s trajectories even into adulthood. Therefore, the field of child/adolescent mental health and wellbeing will benefit immensely from the research and insights from [this] book. […] This is the first book to systematically present and synthesize knowledge in the field of child neglect, carefully focusing on developmental life stages from infancy through adolescence, and into adulthood.""
