Gibson maps path away from chasing parental recognition that never arrives
A child can be fed, housed, and never hit yet still starved of attunement—adults who leave parent visits drained but cannot say why get a four-type parent map and a path to freedom that needs no apology.

About James J. Gibson
James Jerome Gibson was an American psychologist and is considered to be one of the most important contributors to the field of visual perception. Gibson challenged the idea that the nervous system actively constructs conscious visual perception, and instead promoted ecological psychology, in which the mind directly perceives environmental stimuli without additional cognitive construction or processing. A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked him as the 88th most cited psychologist of the 20th century, tied with John Garcia, David Rumelhart, Louis Leon Thurstone, Margaret Floy Washburn, and Robert S. Woodworth.
