In 'Saving Your Life', Alice Miller addresses the problem of child abuse with empathy and clarity, based on her years of studying the traumas derived from these abuses. This book reveals how it is possible to overcome abuse, proposing a new form of communication with oneself and with others. Miller invites the adult who has suffered abuse in their childhood to side with the abused child they once were, exploring the effects of repressing these feelings in adult life and in the social fabric. The author explores the question of what a child feels when they suffer abuse, offering a guide to overcoming trauma.
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.
