Abstract
Looks at how we bring the trauma of our childhood into the workplace, considering our “family” at work, and probes more deeply into traits which abused adults carry with them daily. Finally, explores the long‐lasting effects with regard to communication patterns in the workplace as they appear in conflict resolution, performance appraisals, relationships with authority figures and co‐workers, and suggests what employee assistance programmes can do to help adults who have been abused as children.
