Description:
Your Inner Child of the Past is a foundational work in mid-century psychology that explores how early emotional experiences shape adult behavior. Drawing on clinical practice, Missildine examines the long-term effects of childhood dynamics such as overprotection, perfectionism, neglect, and rejection, showing how these patterns persist beneath adult relationships and self-understanding. Written in a clear, direct style, the book bridges clinical insight with broader reflections on emotional development and responsibility. Decades after its publication, it remains a thoughtful and influential examination of how the past continues to live within the present.
