Summary:"Through dozens of vivid examples, Dr. Cyrulnik describes the ingredients of resilience: the ability to heal the wounded self and move on, to make sense of traumatic experiences, and form new emotional and social ties. Affection is such a vital need, he writes, that those who were deprived of it will attach themselves intensely to anything that rekindles a spark of life, whatever the cost. From the earliest parent-child bonding to the sexual turbulence of the teenage years, this book shows what makes for success or failure in the struggle to gain freedom from early pain."--BOOK JACKET.
