In the vast universe of human emotions, there are hearts whose light may be flickering quietly in a corner, waiting for the warmth of care. This is the state of being "deprived of love." This book, Caring for Those Deprived of Love, aims to be a beam of light cutting through the gloom. From a scientific perspective, it explores how a lack of love subtly affects a person's growth, and the formation and healing of emotional bonds. We know that love is not only the nourishment of life, but also the foundation of emotional growth. When that nourishment is lacking, the garden of the heart may grow barren, even shaping how a person sees and responds to the world.
