Beschreibung

Why do some of us grow up too soon and spend a lifetime caring for others at the cost of ourselves? In this deeply humane study, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Mark Kinet explores parentification: the invisible role reversal in which children become their parents' caretakers, confidants, or even partners. Blending vivid clinical portraits, psychoanalytic depth and literary sensibility, Kinet traces how early caregiving shapes our psychic architecture, how it builds resilience but also leaves enduring fractures. Drawing on Freud, Ferenczi, Balint, Klein, Winnicott, Bion, Kernberg, Kohut, Bowlby, Fonagy, and Lacan, as well as infant research and contemporary neuropsychoanalysis, he reconstructs the unconscious history of the 'wise baby,' the 'wounded healer,' and the adult child who cannot stop repairing others. Across richly textured chapters and cinematic intermezzos, Kinet interweaves theory and therapy, empathy and analysis. He demonstrates how psychoanalytic work can transform the 'inherited' burden of parentification into creative care. Written with clarity and compassion, The Psychodynamics and Psychogenesis of Parentification is both a clinical study and a meditation on the human need to give and be given to. It speaks to therapists, scholars, and all readers seeking to understand the paradox of 'loving' too much and too early.
