About this product
Product Information
Why Love Matters explains why love is essential to brain development in the early years of life, particularly to the development of our social and emotional brain systems, and presents the startling discoveries that provide the answers to how our emotional lives work. Sue Gerhardt considers how the earliest relationship shapes the baby's nervous system, with lasting consequences, and how our adult life is influenced by infancy despite our inability to remember babyhood. She shows how the development of the brain can affect future emotional well being, and goes on to look at specific early 'pathways' that can affect the way we respond to stress and lead to conditions such as anorexia, addiction, and anti-social behaviour. Why Love Matters is a lively and very accessible interpretation of the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, psychoanalysis and biochemistry. It will be invaluable to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, mental health professionals, parents and all those concerned with the central importance of brain development in relation to many later adult difficulties.Product Identifiers

enlightening
enlightening. Explains how babies spend their early days making new pathways in the brain which enable them eventually to know how they feel and to understand how others might feel . This does not happen in other species who spend those equivalent days inside the womb , where they miss out on those socialising opportunities . Human babies' brains need love to develop . Very interesting book with a very serious side to it .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
