Dr. Jim Gordon’s “Emotional Incest” Will Be Showcased by ReadersMagnet at the 2026 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

The self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will showcase Jim Gordon, Ph.D.’s book, “Emotional Incest: A Childhood Stolen,” at the 2026 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB). The outdoor book fair will take place on April 18-19, 2026, at the University of Southern California (USC) campus in Los Angeles.

More than 150,000 people come to the L.A. Times Festival of Books every year. It is one of the most famous literary events in the U.S. Authors, emerging voices, and booklovers from across the country and abroad come to celebrate two days of book exhibitions, panel discussions, book signings, workshops, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and nonstop literary energy.

Jim Gordon, Ph.D., talks about a psychological dynamic that isn’t talked about very often in his book “Emotional Incest: A Childhood Stolen.” In this dynamic, a child becomes the emotional support system for a parent. This relationship, which is not sexual but has a big effect, can blur lines and change roles, making kids take on emotional responsibilities that are way too big for them. Gordon’s work shows how these kinds of experiences affect who we are, our relationships, and our mental health later in life.

Drawing from decades of clinical experience, the book offers insight into how these patterns often emerge in families dealing with addiction, particularly in environments influenced by alcoholism. It also provides a framework for understanding the long-term effects on adult children who grew up in such conditions. By addressing these deeply rooted issues, Gordon opens a path toward awareness, healing, and personal growth.

Festivalgoers are invited to visit ReadersMagnet at booth 225 to explore the author’s work and discover a book that brings attention to an often overlooked psychological reality affecting many individuals and families.
