Gerhardt, a UK psychoanalytic therapist who founded a project to help parents with their babies, discusses links between insecure early attachments, the developing nervous system, and later psychological problems. She concludes that radical re-thinking of the home/work divide is needed to reduce the problems plaguing parenting. While she does not follow Freud in blaming mothers for their children's problems, fathers are hardly mentioned. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
