Dr. Jonice Webb

Dr. Jonice Webb, PhD, a clinical psychologist, is a bestselling author, and the pioneer who identified and named childhood emotional neglect, a hidden experience that helps explain why so many capable, successful people struggle with emptiness, disconnection, and self-doubt despite having seemingly "fine" childhoods. During more than 35 years in clinical practice, Dr. Webb recognized a pattern that had never been defined in psychology. She introduced the concept of childhood emotional neglect, shifting the focus from what happened in childhood to what did not happen: the consistent emotional attunement every child needs. Dr. Webb is the author of the international bestselling books Running on Empty and Running on Empty No More, and her Psychology Today column has reached more than 13.5 million readers. Her work has helped millions finally understand experiences they had struggled to explain for years. Today, through her books, articles, and online programs, Dr. Webb continues to teach the emotional skills many people were never taught as children, offering a hopeful message grounded in decades of clinical experience: meaningful healing is possible at any age.
