About this title: A new sequel to "The Drama of Being a Child". To eliminate her own repression, Alice Miller sought a therapy that would allow the injured child within the adult to find its own language. She found a method that withstood her scepticism and her dislike of dogma and salvational ideologies, enabling her to resolve the consequences of her own childhood traumas.

"In her previous (excellent) book, THE DRAMA OF THE GIFTED CHILD, Alice Miller still wrote from a psychoanalytic frame of reference. Now she has abandoned that model of therapy, believing that it only further instills in the client a repression of feeling memory.
Everyone who thinks that s/he might be a parent should read this.
Just wait until you read her observation about Santa Claus! What a revelation!
From BANISHED KNOWLEDGE...
"Every child depends on others for the satisfaction of his needs because he cannot look after himself.... The only possible recourse a baby has when his screams are ignored is to repress his distress, which is tantamount to mutilating his soul, for the result is an interference with his ability to feel, to be aware, and to remember."
"Many people still have no idea that they are placing dynamite in our world when they abuse their children physically or even 'only' psychically. They describe their actions as proper and necessary."
"Not to take one's own suffering seriously, to make light of it or even laugh at it, is considered good manners in our culture. This attitude is even called a virtue, and many people are proud of their lack of sensitivity toward their own fate and above all toward their own childhood."
"Philosophers and other intellectuals have fashioned numerous ways of keeping pain at a distance with the aid of thoughts and of disregarding the realities of life with the aid of an ostensibly befining language."
"Alice Miller's thinking is hard to find all in one book, but this is a good starting place. Read as many as you need to to learn how the attitude toward and treatment of children effects the individual and entire societies."
