Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nancy Verrier is an American psychotherapist, author, lecturer and adoptive parent. She is perhaps best known for work in the areas of adoption and adoption reform, and has published two books concerning the psychopathology of adoption. They are The Primal Wound: Understanding the Adopted Child (1993) and Coming Home to Self. The core premise of the "primal wound" theory is that a child separated from its mother at the beginning of life, when still in the primal relationship to her, experiences what she calls the primal wound. This wound, occurring before the child has begun to separate his own identity from that of the mother, is experienced not only as a loss of the mother, but as a loss of the Self, that core-being of oneself which is the center of goodness and wholeness.
