Found this book at a thrift store and it seemed interesting. After reading it I'd recommend this book to anyone. I found it very helpful on making sense of my own family dynamics and pain that I have never reflected on or been able to comprehend historically. The most striking aspect to me is the way in which self-esteem is critical to functional communication dynamics in a marital relationship and how the emotional proximity between parents is actually more important to functional child development than the parents emotional proximity to the child individually.
