Product Description

Synopsis
Alice Miller's work in the field of child abuse has attracted international acclaim. In this text, Miller embarks on a revolutionary psychoanalytic path in order to explain why child abuse is so widespread and why it is so commonly ignored or overlooked. She argues that we have used fundamentally mistaken Freudian theories on infantile sexuality to conceal the true nature of the relationship between adults and children. Only when we acknowledge the trauma involved can we begin to understand how childhood repression poisons all subsequent relations for its victims. Dr. Miller combines case histories with dreams, fairy tales and the works of Kafka, Woolf, Flaubert, Beckett and others in an argument for a more compassionate approach to a bewildering problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life changing read, 5 Sep 2000
By A Customer
It's hard to know where to start in reviewing a book like this! It changed my life, actually it saved my life! For anyone recovering from abusive childhoods (or who think that maybe, just maybe thier current problems relate to childhood in any way!) or who wants to understand somebody who is, for psychiatrists, psychologists. therapists,social workers, anyone working with children, ALL PARENTS, for people on a spiritual path, for people who've found themselves repeatedly sabotaging thier own chances of happiness, for addicts of anything, for those who seek to understand why there is and always has been misery, unhappiness, violence abuse, war. slavery, I could go on.... this book has some important answers and directions to look in for more. When you've gone as far as you can and just can't understand WHY this book can help. Try it.
