For more than thirty years, clinical psychologist Ellen Weber Libby has been helping successful, often powerful clients in Washington, DC - a place known For its outsized personalities - to deal with their personal problems. One pattern that Libby has identified after spending some sixty thousand hours treating her clients is what she calls "the Favorite child complex." In this book, Libby shows how being the Favorite child can confer both great advantages and significant emotional handicaps.
