Human Development and Trauma: How Childhood Shapes Us into Who We Are as Adults

By Darius Cikanavicius (Author), Jacqueline Peressini (Editor), Daniel Mackler (Foreword) (2018)

From Amazin.com: “From the About the Book section: The focus of this book is human psychological development. The book’s goal is to explore how our early emotional and social environment influences us and what problems and advantages we develop as adults as the result of it. … This book is intended for people interested in the subjects of childrearing, childhood trauma, and the consequences of childhood adversity. It is for all who wish to better understand themselves and their society.

From the Foreword: What makes this book special is that it is healthy. Darius Cikanavicius offers the reader a compassionate and trauma-informed study of childhood from the perspective of the child, and not, as is the case with the far majority of psychology books, from the perspective of the parent. This is key, because any book that addresses childhood trauma and is really worth its weight must sensitively yet determinedly take the child’s side. … For this reason I consider anyone who gets their hands on this book fortunate indeed. 
— Daniel Mackler, LCSW”
