Series: The Mental Health and Well-being of Children and Adolescents

This timely and compelling volume explores the interdisciplinary perspectives on, and long-term consequences of, emotional neglect on children and adolescents, creating a theoretical model that considers the impact of emotional neglect in distinct phases of development.

Paying specific attention to Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory which hypothesized that a child's development is impacted by their interactions with different systems within their environment, the book takes a unique and chronological look at neglect. Starting from prenatal development up to early adulthood, its chapters underpin research through exploration of other theories such as attachment theory, cognitive development theory, social learning theory, and emotional schema to highlight the importance of recognizing the negative consequences of emotional neglect, and encourage the of development of interventions that support healthy emotional development in children.

This book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students working in child and family social work, child abuse and neglect research, as well as child and adolescent psychiatry and clinical psychology. Practitioners working with children and adolescents may also find the volume informative and useful.

Reviews for Charting the Experience of Children and Adolescents Affected by Emotional Neglect

"""In this book, Wojtyna and Gierczyk delve into the area of emotional neglect – an area that has thus far been under-researched. Emotional neglect has widespread consequences for the development of children not only in the earlier years, but it also has far-reaching consequences and impact across multiple domains and children’s trajectories even into adulthood. Therefore, the field of child/adolescent mental health and wellbeing will benefit immensely from the research and insights from [this] book. […] This is the first book to systematically present and synthesize knowledge in the field of child neglect, carefully focusing on developmental life stages from infancy through adolescence, and into adulthood."" Rebecca P. Ang, Professor, Psychology and Child & Human Development, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore."
