Understanding the lasting effects of emotionally invasive parenting

Patricia Love examines a family dynamic in which a parent’s emotional needs and influence can become psychologically invasive for a child. Framed as a guide to identifying and addressing what the book calls emotional incest syndrome, it connects these early relationships with chronic difficulties that may persist into adulthood. The book combines an exploration of the pattern and its harmful effects with a program aimed at overcoming them, placing the emphasis on recognizing boundaries, family influence, and long-term emotional consequences.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults exploring the effects of difficult or boundary-crossing parent-child relationships
  • Readers seeking a psychology-oriented self-help framework for persistent family-related problems
  • Those interested in family dynamics and emotional boundaries
