The Simple Guide to Emotional Neglect by Betsy De Thierry

What is emotional neglect? How does it affect children and the adults they become? What can we do to help? In The Simple Guide to Emotional Neglect, Betsy de Thierry provides clarity and guidance on the complex subject of emotional neglect, including how it impacts emotional connection and behaviour in the children who experience it. Betsy de Thierry has spent years working with children and adults impacted by emotional neglect from all walks of life, and combines her experience with the latest research evidence to provide you with a concise overview of what emotional neglect looks like, and the issues it can create, including its impact on the developing brain, the development of trauma-based behaviours and challenges to forming emotional connections. The practical advice in this book guides parents, carers, and professionals involved in child welfare on how to provide informed and empathic support.

Never more urgently needed, Betsy confronts this invisible but insidious issueOffering hope and recovery, this essential read addresses, compassionately and practically, the profound need in every human heart to be seen and known. -- Nicki Rosser, Clinical Lead TRC Bath
Betsy's warm, wise book comes from deep knowledge of what really matters for children. Emotional neglect can be scary territory for parents and practitioners to explore and this book will support courageous conversations without shame, helping children to be seen, heard and loved. i recommend this book to everyone involved in supporting families to recover strong loving relationships. -- Mary Glasgow CEO, Children 1st

Highly recommend to any adoptive parents, foster carers, guardians, teachers and any adult with children in their care.
Reading this book was like a big hug, I didn't feel so alone anymore, I could relate and so much of it made sense to me. It gave me a greater understanding, knowledge and reminder of what is really going on for my children along with encouraging tools on how to move forward and make such positive change, which is possible. With life overwhelming anyway, I really love the fact this book really is a 'simple' read and easy to absorb. Betsy breaks it all down perfectly into various chapters which makes it easy to jump back into at point to refer, remind and refresh myself to be the best we can be for our children.

-- Clare Davies, adoptive parent of young siblings
