Each year millions of American adults visit a childhood home. Few
can anticipate the effect it will have on them. Often serving
several important psychological needs, these trips are not intended
as visits with people from their past. Rather, those returning to
their homes have a strong desire to visit the places that comprised
the landscape of their childhood. Approximately one third of
American adults over the age of thirty have visited a childhood
home. This book describes some of their experiences and the
psychology behind the journeys. Most people who visit a childhood
home are motivated by a desire to connect with their past. Seeing
the buildings, schools, parks, and playgrounds from their youth
helps to establish the psychological and emotional link between the
child in the black-and-white photographs and the person they are
today. Many people use the trip to get in touch with the values and
principles they were taught as children, often as a means to get
their lives back on track. Others use that journey to strengthen
emotional bonds between themselves and loved ones. Still others
return to former homes to work through psychological issues left
over from sad or traumatic childhoods. No matter the reason, there
are few experiences in one's life that can move a person as deeply
and unpredictably as returning home.
