Description

An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating effects by some of the world’s leading psychoanalysts.

Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller examined so persuasively the long-range consequences of childhood abuse at the body. The use of the experiences of her patients together with the biographical stories of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child’s humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness―be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases. Never one to shy away from controversy, Miller urges society as a whole to jettison its belief within the Fourth Commandment and to not extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and ceaselessly ruined, adult lives. On this empowering work, writes Rutgers professor Philip Greven, “readers will discover ways to confront the overt and covert traumas of their very own childhoods with the enlightened guidance of Alice Miller.”
