«The Untouched Key» is Alice Miller's essay on childhood trauma and creativity, published by Virago Press in paperback (184 pages, in English).
In this essay, Alice Miller traces the influence of childhood abuse and emotional repression on adult life. Drawing on clinical cases and psychological analyses, she shows how unprocessed suffering can be expressed as creativity or destructiveness, and argues that becoming aware of these wounds enables healing.
The 1990 edition of «The Untouched Key» carries the subtitle Tracing Childhood Trauma in Creativity and Destructiveness.
A work for readers interested in psychology and the consequences of childhood abuse.
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.
