Download The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting AudioBook Free
An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating results by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts. Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller evaluated so persuasively the long-range outcomes of childhood mistreatment on the body. Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical reviews of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled trend will manifest itself as adult health issues - be it cancer, heart stroke, or other devastating diseases. Never one to shy away from controversy, Miller urges society all together to jettison its notion in the Fourth Commandment and not to extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and frequently ruined, adult lives. With this empowering work, writes Rutgers professor Philip Greven, "[listeners] will learn how to confront the overt and covert traumas of their own childhoods with the enlightened information of Alice Miller."
