Don't Lose Your Children. Why Parents Should Be More Important than Peers

Psychotherapist Gordon Neufeld and doctor Gabor Maté write about the poorly studied phenomenon of child-parent relationships, such as the replacement of attachment to parents with attachment to peers. The authors believe this trend is one of the most destructive and misunderstood in modern society. They show how and why children gradually lose contact with us and how the loss of this contact negatively affects their psycho-emotional development. The book will be useful for parents of children of any age — from toddlers to teenagers, psychologists, and anyone whose profession is to care for children.
