Every parent should read her (EDNA O'BRIEN )
Alice Miller changed the way I think about my own life (SARA PARETSKY )
Alice Miller changed the way I think about my own life (SARA PARETSKY )
Product Description
Alice Miller has achieved recognition for her revolutionary work on the causes and effects of child abuse - here she works towards demolishing the wall of silence which surrounds the sufferings of early childhood as they affect everyday life, politics, the media, psychiatry and psychotherapy. An infant's trust and dependency on its parents, its longing to be loved and be able to love in return, are boundless. To exploit this dependency, to confuse a child's longings and abuse its trust by pretending that this is somehow good for it, Alice Miller condemns as a criminal act, committed time and again out of ignorance and the refusal to change. The essential first stage in this healing process is feeling the truth of our experience. Only this, Alice Miller writes, can enable us to recognise childhood events and resolve their consequences so that we can lead a conscious, responsible life. If we know and feel what happened to us then, we will never wish to harm ourselves or others now.

Living without deception and shame, 13 Mar 2009
By DOROTHY - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breaking Down the Wall of Silence - TBC: The Liberating Experience of Facing Painful Truth (Paperback)
It is a painful but fulfilling experience to stop telling lies to oneself - to face life without deception and illusion, to constantly question yourself and those close to you, quite simply - to live consciously and meaningfully and to accept your past as it truly was. Love and relationships can't help but win over money, sex and power!

Danger, 28 May 2010
By oceangleam - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breaking Down the Wall of Silence - TBC: The Liberating Experience of Facing Painful Truth (Paperback)
Like the all Alice Miller's works the present one thrives unprepared reader to use his (her ) imagiantion and enter a state of »dreaming« ( meditation or learning from personal experience ). The mentioned state is reserved for rare because it can corrupt untrustworthy mental stability of the suspicious people and push them into unpredictable and uncontrolable moods of behaviour . The work is reserved just to the innocent and persistent people whose flawlessness protect them from dangerous attack of the unknown. Wish a good luck to all the braves traveling the hard path of the personal development, oceangleam
