«El cuerpo nunca miente» is Alice Miller's psychology essay, published by Austral in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Alice Miller explains that the mandate to honor one's parents leads many children to repress their emotions and fail to process childhood traumas. This repression eventually manifests in the body as illness. Miller proposes understanding these bodily messages to free oneself from symptoms and heal the wounds of the past.
Part of Austral's Contemporánea collection. Translated by Marta Torent López de Lamadrid.
Aimed at readers interested in psychology and the relationship between childhood experiences and physical health.
Alice Miller was a Polish-Swiss psychologist, psychoanalyst, and philosopher noted for her books on parental child abuse, translated into several languages. She was also a noted public intellectual. Her 1979 book The Drama of the Gifted Child caused a sensation and became an international bestseller upon the English publication in 1981. Her views on the consequences of child abuse became highly influential in the fields of child development, psychotherapy, and trauma. In her books she departed from psychoanalysis, charging it with being similar to the poisonous pedagogies.
