Being There

In "Being There," veteran psychoanalyst Erica Komisar explores the crucial role of a mother’s emotional and physical presence during the first years of a child's life. Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience and the latest neurobiological research, she argues that this presence significantly enhances a child's emotional health, resilience, and overall well-being. The book offers practical guidance for both parents on establishing connections with young children, navigating childcare options, and making informed decisions to support family needs during these formative years.
