The Inconsequential Child: Overcoming Emotional Neglect - Paperback

by Anthony Martino (Author)

The Inconsequential Child is an intimate memoir of one man's journey of self-discovery. The book is written in the form of a letter where each chapter conveys one of the lessons the author has learned during his journey toward emotional well-being, love and hope. The book centers around a series of memories which were the basis of the author's personal psychoanalysis. The memories are written as he remembers them; in his voice, often in first-person, present tense. The author also offers both real-time and post analysis of the memories that have guided him through his journey. As such, the Inconsequential Child is not a self-help book. Instead, it is a book of possibility. The possibility that you too can heal as you walk along your path toward self-discovery. Also, please note that the author is not a medical professional and he is using a pseudonym.

Author Biography

Anthony Martino is not my real name. To protect the privacy of those I love, I have written this book under a pseudonym and have changed the names of my family members, friends, geographic locations and other potentially identifiable facts. I wish there were another way to preserve my family's privacy and simultaneously be true to you. But, unfortunately, there is not. I can tell you that I am a relatively typical guy in my mid-fifties. I'm industrious and compassionate. I live with my wife and twins in a suburb of major east coast city. Most people enjoy my company. I mention this simply to say that I am not much different than you. Maybe older, maybe younger but very much the same.
