The Primal Wound

The Primal Wound: Understanding The Adopted Child

1993

Some of its information is vital, but I don't read books about adoption trauma written by non-adoptees anymore, especially ones claiming to be ‘experts' about being an adoptee. She has a view as an adoptive woman that she can share. She goes on to shame people that need to use day care, and touts her belief in that as therapist to give that bias/classism some sort of psychological validity. As a therapist myself, I'm calling bullsh!t on that.
