«Notre corps ne ment jamais» is the essay by psychoanalyst Alice Miller, published by Le Grand livre du mois in hardback (206 pages, in French).
Alice Miller argues that moral norms instilled in childhood force the repression of feelings, and that this repression eventually makes the body ill. Through figures such as Dostoyevsky, Kafka and Virginia Woolf, she shows how blind loyalty to abusive parents and cultural mandates damage health; she proposes recovering the truth to free oneself.
For those interested in psychology, childhood trauma and the relationship between mind and body, with a critical view of traditional morality.

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.
