Description
Rather than looking for solutions to world violence on the macrocosmic level of the greater social order, this memoir asserts that all human aggression has its genesis in a child's failure to have its normative attachment needs met by adults within the microcosm of the family; accordingly, it tacitly suggests that all prospective caregivers be instructed on the irreducible needs of children so that they can assist in their being met with no intimation of the aggressive affect that all abusers have at their core. Indeed, this text's thesis is: all aggression is learned by children from adults which, if not stopped, brutally repeats into the next generation. For the world to become a peaceful place, we must explore and express how violence is learned in the most intimate emotions and interactions of the family, of which this text serves as an example.
