Caring

Front Cover
Knopf, 1976 - Family & Relationships - 199 pages
"At a time when pessimism is a dominant chord in society, one of America's leading psychoanalysts sounds a revolutionary and inspiring note in caring, a major new insight into human nature. The author examines each phase of emotional growth, from birth to maturity, to show that caring is a biologically programed impulse essential for the survival of our species, that human beings are fundamentally loving creatures." --Google Books.
