Seeing Through Tears cover

Seeing Through Tears is a groundbreaking examination of crying behavior and the meaning behind our tears. Drawing from attachment theory and her own original research, Judith Nelson presents an exciting new view of crying as a part of our inborn equipment for establishing and maintaining emotional connections. In a comprehensive look at crying through the life cycle, this insightful volume presents a novel theoretical framework before offering useful and practical advice for dealing with this most fundamental of human behaviors.

"A concise yet in-depth volume. [Nelson] provides an exploration of crying in its multi-layered origins and expressions. Creatively connecting her ideas to attachment theory…she presents her theory of what it means to cry and the caregiving response it usually elicits. A unique, stimulating and very useful book." ---Laura Reiter. L.C.S.W., Clinical Social Work Journal, 2006
