Title: Haunted by Parents
First published: 2006
Description: "In this book the eminent psychoanalyst Leonard Shengold looks at why some people are resistant to change, even when it seems to promise a change for the better.

Drawing on a lifetime of clinical experience as well as on wide readings of world literature. Shengold shows how early childhood relationships with parents can lead to a powerful conviction that change means loss."--Jacket.
