«Por tu propio bien» is the psychology essay by Alice Miller, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Alice Miller denounces the education that, under «te castigaremos por tu propio bien», annuls the child's will. She maintains that those who were mistreated will repeat the mistreatment, and places the annihilation of the infant soul at the origin of violence toward oneself and others. She analyzes cases such as Jürgen Bartsch, Hitler, and Sylvia Plath.
Volume 37 of the Ensayo collection from Tusquets Editores. Translation by Juan José del Solar of the German original 'Am Anfang war Erziehung'.
For readers interested in child psychology, pedagogy, and the consequences of childhood mistreatment.
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.
