Healing the Unaffirmed

by Conrad W. Baars MD, Anna A. Terruwe MD, Suzanne Baars MA LPC LMFT LCDC (Editor)

Overview

Recognizing emotional deprivation disorder and correcting its many grave individual and global ills. The authors have shown convincingly that a specific syndrome develops when a person has been deprived of affirming love. Analytic or solely cognitive or behavioral therapies do not bring lasting healing, or are of no avail in these unaffirmed persons, since they have never repressed their feelings. What the unaffirmed person needs is affirmation therapy, which entails far more than simply giving "T.L.C." Rather, this therapy involves the healing of the whole person--body, mind and spirit. The discovery of this well-defined syndrome of emotional deprivation disorder is most important. Recognizing emotional deprivation disorder is the first step in correcting, through affirmation, many grave individual and global ills. Authentic affirmation brings about peace, self-confidence and joy.

Editorial Reviews

Dr. Baars and Dr. Terruwe have been seeking resolution for its long-term and often emotionally crippling effects. They did the clinical world a great service through their discovery and study of this malady, and through the initial release of their book, Healing the Unaffirmed: Recognizing Deprivation Neurosis, Suzanne Baars has done the general audience a great service by discussing the neurosis' symptoms and causes in the broadcast format, and through the new release of this classic work.
