Episode 73
As a field, we talk a whole heck of a lot about attachment these days, and with good reason, but emotional autonomy is not only an aspect of secure attachment but it is both the bedrock of being child-centered as well as a firm foundation for children to be able to develop their unique identity and move through their unique journey in this world.

The book mentioned in the podcast was, 'A Way to the Soul of the Mentally Ill' by Gertrude Schwing. It is a little hard to find cheap, but well worth it.
