Neglect
Book Review
The core concept that in this book, that neglect is usually an unnoticed form of abuse in someone's life, is a critical concept for us to consider. After Enod Gray lays this out, she then begins to connect it to other issues - the primary one being addictions. She does an excellent job going below the surface and pulling out the full repertoire of tools the world of psychology offers; yet, she does this in an accessible way. Most readers will not feel like this is a textbook, yet for those who would like the academics of this, Enod sites other helpful sources occasionally as well. She also has a good balance of story, diagnostic, and analysis.
Occasionally Enod Gray takes aim a churches and spiritual institutions, although this is not overdone. Her points are valid and worthy of consideration. From a biblical perspective, there are some things to disagree with. That said, I still found great value in reading this and considering the main points she has to offer.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.

Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
