Description

Why are among the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This profound book has provided thousands of readers with an answer-and has helped them to use it on their very own lives.
Far too many people had to be informed as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully to be able to meet our parents’ expectations and win their “love.” Alice Miller writes, “When I used the word ‘gifted’ within the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb… Without this ‘gift’ offered us by nature, we should not have survived.” But merely surviving isn’t enough. The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own a very powerful needs and our own truth.
