Format:Paperback
This is a highly interesting book and should be read by anyone who is interested in child development or is responsible for their development. It is very inspiring, whether you're a carer, therapist, parent or social worker...doesn't matter. It can give you a basic understanding of how our brain develops and how traumatic experiences in life can affect this. However most of all it will give you an insight of Perry's work and the needs for our modern society arising from his experiences with those children.

Uplifting although sad. It reinforces the importance of proper care & nurturing in the early years. One of the best books I have read.

I had the good fortune to hear Dr Perry speak at a conference about trauma in childhood on his recent UK 'tour'. It was utterly fascinating and I just had to read his new book. This book is a must for anyone interested in child development and dealing with damaged children. It is useful for professionals, but also accessible and fascinating for parents and others. Although he deals with the most damaged children, their stories, beautifully written, leave you feeling uplifted. The entire book is a joy and well worth a read. Well done, Dr Perry.
