About This Item
New York: Noonday Press [0-374-52269-3] 1993. (Trade paperback) 282pp. Very good. Notes, tables, bibliography. The covers are lightly worn, a small tear at the top of the spine, there are minor markings in the text and a previous owner's name inside. "In the clear, strong, poetic language that distinguished her first book, the highly acclaimed Prisoners of Childhood: the Drama of the Gifted Child, Alice Miller has written a ground-breaking study of the origins of violence. So convincingly does she show how harmful and cruel are the principles ruling our traditional upbringing that she even unexpectedly found confirmation from a church-oriented reviewer". Translated by Hildegarde Hannum & Hunter Hannum. (Psychology, Child Rearing, Childhood, Children, Ideas, Psychoanalysis, Psychology, Social Behavior, Violence).
