The primal wound : understanding the adopted child / Nancy Newton Verrier. Baltimore : Gateway Press, 1993. xvii, 231 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-229). The Primal Wound is a book which will revolutionize the way we think about adoption. In its application of information about pre- and perinatal psychology, attachment, bonding, and loss, it clarifies the effects of separation from the birthmother on adopted children. In addition, it gives those children, whose pain has long been unacknowledged or misunderstood, validation for their feelings, as well as explanations for their behavior. The insight which Ms. Verrier brings to the experiences of abandonment and loss will contribute not only to the healing of adoptees, their adoptive families, and birthmothers, but will bring understanding and encouragement to anyone who has ever felt abandoned.
