Alice Miller - The Drama of the Gifted Child



The first publication of "The Drama of the Gifted Child" (1979) and of this book are separated
by fifteen years of experience - the author's experience with her own self-therapy and with
other recent therapy methods, and finally her knowledge of the life histories of the several
thousand readers who have written to her.

The research into childhood she has undertaken in this period has led to a further fine-tuning
of her earlier findings, as is documented and illustrated here with an abundance of examples.

The author examines the consequences of repression at the personal and social level, the
causes of the physical and psychological harm done to children and how this can be prevented,
and finally the new methods at our disposal for dealing with the consequences of infant traumas.
