About this book

Alice Miller argues that recognizing the emotional truth of childhood is central to understanding adult distress. She examines how unacknowledged memories and needs can continue to shape behavior long after the original circumstances have passed. This psychological work emphasizes awareness of personal history as a means of changing present patterns and recovering a sense of integrity.

About the author

Alice Miller - BDeBooks
Alice Miller

Miller trained as a psychoanalyst in Switzerland and then turned on her own profession, arguing in The Drama of the Gifted Child and For Your Own Good that ordinary child-rearing, and the demand that a child suppress feeling to keep a parent comfortable, produces most later damage. The books changed how a generation talked about childhood.
