OP I think you would enjoy Lasch if you haven’t already read him. He wrote his stuff before attachment theory was a thing but he grounds his work heavily from a perspective of American industrial capitalism, which may help you approach contemporary psych concepts more critically.

i dunno. lasch was one of the original "i like marxism, but" who got to be extremely reactionary. not worth rooting through the first book or two when there's a zillion others to try.

Yeah but it’s probably a decent jumping off point for the OP convinced he’s all hosed up bc he got the wire mom instead of the cloth mom

He was an absolute psychopath and the reference was a joke about people with a pedestrian understanding of attachment theory
