Table of ContentsReviewsWriting about the 'psy' industry's promulgation of the concept of 'emotional abuse', [Dr.Allsopp] offers us a genealogical account of its familial connections with other branches of the vast 'psy' world [...] She makes us consider how the state has become a kind of grand family supervisor - with political discourse turning away from social and economic conditions, and towards the individual; away - for instance - from housing, and towards parenting. She shows us the proliferation of research: and the academic nurseries which breed it, nurture it, and send it out to colonize other regions of the 'psy' world [...] She offers a genealogy of the theories that have conjugated to give birth to 'emotional abuse', tracing the bloodlines into trauma theory, attachment theory and into the legal and administrative system's evolving responses to the new 'harms'. The psy world is so subdivided into specialisms and groups in contention, that it is hard to see how they all connect - which is why this work is so revelatory . - Bulletin of the Oxford Psychotherapy Society Writing about the 'psy' industry's promulgation of the concept of 'emotional abuse', [Dr.Allsopp] offers us a genealogical account of its familial connections with other branches of the vast 'psy' world [...] She makes us consider how the state has become a kind of grand family supervisor - with political discourse turning away from social and economic conditions, and towards the individual; away - for instance - from housing, and towards parenting.

The psy world is so subdivided into specialisms and groups in contention, that it is hard to see how they all connect - which is why this work is so revelatory . - Bulletin of the Oxford Psychotherapy Society This is an original and fascinating exploration of a key idea of contemporary Western culture - the 'invisible wound' that marks the site of psychic harm. Marian Allsopp brilliantly traces the way this idea links a variety of harms - from attachment and loss to post-traumatic stress disorder - and organises them as fields for intervention. - John Clarke (The Open University, UK) Author InformationMarian Allsopp worked as a journalist and economist before having children. In the 1980s she was a family therapist and systems consultant in the adolescent ward of the Warneford Hospital, Oxford, UK.
