The Primal Wound: Understanding the Adopted Child
The Primal Wound is a seminal work that revolutionises the way we think about adoption. It describes and clarifies the effects of separating babies from their birth mothers as a primal loss, which affects the relationships of the adopted person throughout life.
This book delves into pre-and perinatal psychology, attachment, bonding, and loss. It offers adoptees, whose pain has long been unacknowledged or misunderstood, validation for their feelings and explanations for their behaviour.
The Primal Wound also lists the coping mechanisms that adoptees use to attach and live in a family to whom they are not related and with whom they have no genetic cues. It aims to contribute to the healing of all members of the adoption triad and provides understanding and encouragement to anyone who has ever felt abandoned.
