In this episode of The Psychological Paradigm Shift, Ed Rieger examines child neglect—one of the most damaging and least discussed forms of abuse. Unlike physical or sexual abuse, neglect often goes unnoticed, yet its psychological impact can last a lifetime. Ed explains how neglect shapes emotional development, self-worth, and adult relationship behaviors. He outlines the critical questions you should ask a potential partner about their childhood environment to better understand the long-term effects of unmet emotional, physical, and psychological needs.
