In recent years, several best-selling books have argued that most emotional problems can be traced to an unhappy or traumatic childhood (an abusive or dysfunctional family, “toxic” parents, and suppression of the “inner child”). What are two (2) possible benefits of focusing on childhood as the time when emotional problems originate, and what are two (2) possible drawbacks?

Two possible benefits of focusing on childhood are, it helps in solving emotional problems as this is how almost how every emotional problem arise, from a childhood tragedy. Also any negative habitual ways that were developed during childhood that’s unwanted could be identified and eliminated.Two possible drawbacks would be that childhood emotional issues would never be identified and solved,and also reduce the seriousness of their current problems and place blame on something that happened in their childhood, thus getting no current issues resolved.

i hope this will help you :)
