ADULT CHILDREN OF EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE PARENTS

This is the first book to explore the insidious results of parental emotional immaturity.

What happens when children are more mature than their parents? Growing up with an emotionally unavailable, immature, or selfish parent is painful—but rarely discussed. In this breakthrough book, clinical psychologist Lindsay C. Gibson exposes an often overlooked, yet extremely common syndrome that shapes the lives of so many people. Readers will discover the four main types of emotionally immature parents: emotional parents, driven parents, passive parents, and rejecting parents. Readers will also gain the insight they need to move on from feelings of loneliness and abandonment, and learn healthy ways to meet their own emotional needs. Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist and author of Who You Were Meant to Be: A Guide to Finding or Recovering Your Life's Purpose. Gibson resides in Chesapeake, VA.
