THIS EMOTIONAL LIFE Family, Friends & Lovers: Dr. Amador

Viewers meet a young boy, adopted from a Russian orphanage, whose story illustrates how attachment in infancy fundamentally shapes his ability to build relationships for years to come. Viewers also meet young parents of newborn twins; a couple in therapy for a troubled marriage; a teenager who was bullied with tragic consequences; two women grappling with the stress of workplace conflicts; and others — all to better understand the importance of social connections and relationships.
