5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful, informative, and yet gentle book, 10 Feb 2009
By S. L. Jones "Sheenagh" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Perry and Szalavitz have achieved a rare thing - an informative and academic text that reads like a series of short biographical stories. I read it from cover to cover. The authors enable their readers to access complex theories in a very human way. Reading this will help you to understand the bio-psycho-social links in human development, how they can go wrong and cause damage, and how they can heal. Behind its strange title lies a very intelligent, humane and gentle approach, based on scientific knowledge and real experiences of human relationships. It's a book I want to share!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Boy who was raised as a Dog, 8 Aug 2009
By Mrs. J. A. Churchill "Ann - Book worm" (Nottingham. UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For all who are working with children - counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists & psychiatrists,social workers or volunteers, this is an extremely well written book about the way a Psychiatrist worked with children by learning from them. The case studies he uses from his wide experiences show how necessary it is to have a good understanding of the integrated structure of the bilogical, psychological and neurological systems. He graphically shows the patterns of process as he works with very damaged children, including the mistakes he made, and how his understanding of the way the different systems worked in a child for their own protection from further trauma, even to the need to partly dissociate or as DID. I found it extremely stimulating and informative for my own therapeutic work within the PTSD spectrum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 15 Jul 2009
By SD (Ireland) - See all my reviews
I have been working with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties for numerous years now and I have to say that this is the first book that I have read on the subject that has totally blown me away!! This is a MUST read for not just therapists, but for anyone who wants to undertand the reason's why some children behave as they do. It is written so beautifully and with great passion and conviction. I could not put this book down and you won't be able to either!
