Young-Bruehl and Faith Bethelard have written this work “about a basic human need-the need for affection, the kind of love we call ‘cherishment’.” As therapists (Young-Bruehl is Anna Freud’s biographer), the two have written this work both for professionals and lay persons. They develop the Eastern concept of amae (pioneered by T. Doi) into their notion of cherishment, in an attempt to describe a universal desire and expectation to be loved. They take this need through infancy and adolescence, drawing on examples which are both interesting as well as illustrative from their own therapeutic work with patients. I read about two-thirds of the work, and skimmed the rest. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Questioning the traditional, celebratory view of independence and self-reliance, they argue that cherishment is the emotional foundation,formed in childhood, that sustains all kinds of growth-promoting adult bonds.
