Dr. Whitfield provides a clear and effective introduction to the basic
principles of recovery. This book is a modern classic, as fresh and
useful today as it was more than a decade ago when first published.
Here, frontline physician and therapist Charles Whitfield describes the
process of wounding that the Child Within (True Self) experiences and
shows how to differentiate the True Self from the false self. He also
describes the core issues of recovery and more. Other writings on this
topic have come and gone, while Healing the Child Within has remained
a strong introduction to recognizing and healing from the painful
effects of childhood trauma. Highly recommended by therapists and
survivors of trauma.
