Routledge - Emotional Neglect in Children and Adolescents

This volume provides a deep look into the interdisciplinary perspectives regarding emotional neglect and its long-term consequences for children and adolescents. Part of The Mental Health and Well-being of Children and Adolescents series, this book builds a theoretical model to examine how neglect affects different stages of human growth. By applying Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, the text examines how a child's development is shaped by interactions with various systems in their environment. The content follows a chronological path, starting from prenatal development and moving through to early adulthood. This approach offers a unique way to understand the progression of neglect and its impact on mental health throughout the developmental lifecycle.
