The author has achieved worldwide recognition for her work on the causes and effects of childhood traumas - particularly with her book "The Drama of Being a Child". Now she has returned to this book and radically rewritten much of it in the light of her move beyond the framework of psychoanalysis. She believes that violence and cruelty in society have their roots in conventional child rearing and in education which can create a prison out of childhood. In this edition she describes how we can use her discoveries to help free ourselves. She explains, with many examples, how it is possible to recover lost feelings and repressed history, resulting in a healthy beginning - for us and for our children.
Reviewer: A reader from Cambridgeshire,England
I began the search for my true self July 2000. Alice Miller entered my life in
November and presented me with a key to my untouched feelings, a shoulder to cry
on and a child that needed me, MYSELF! We are all wounded children and in this
masterpiece Alice Miller allows us to "FEEL" our true experiences
through her challenge as a psychotherapist and wounded child. On more than one
occation I felt compelled to place "The Trauma" on my chest and allow
my inner child to absorb her words and feel the force of them. I sobbed out loud
for my child that had never been given the chance and held her, with love, for
the first time. I feel that this book has helped me to focus on my life drama
and move towards a better understanding of self love. Feel as you read
