To me, this site is arranged by diagnosis or symptoms, a way which is probably familiar to mental health professionals, but which disregards the connections between areas that, as a consequence, get classified as separate. In fact (I think) these areas are connected by being the outcomes of various kinds of "deficiencies" of parenting. I think the details of symptoms should probably matter to professionals, but concentrating on them obscures the common thread which underlies them all. This does not help in the task of healing.
