Why do so many neurotics fail to respond to psychiatric therapy? Because not all neuroses are caused by childhood repression of emotions. The authors have shown convincingly that certain neurotic symptoms develop only when a person has been deprived of affirming love. Since these unaffirmed deprivation neurotics -- too often misdiagnosed as schizophrenic -- have never repressed their feelings, analytic therapies are to no avail.

That of unaffirmed neurotics, however, is increasing at an alarming rate.
