In 'The Drama of Being a Child', Alice Miller examines the consequences of repression at personal and social levels, the causes of physical and psychological harm done to children and how this can be prevented. Miller also explores new methods for dealing with the consequences of infant traumas, based on her experience with self-therapy and other recent therapeutic methods, as well as knowledge of the life histories of thousands of readers who have written to her. This revised edition includes examples and adjustments to her earlier findings.
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.
