For Your Own Good by Alice Miller

Alice Miller explores the sources of violence within ourselves and the way these are encouraged by orthodox childrearing practices. Challenging the way in which we rationalise punishment and coercion as being for the child's 'own good', she illuminates the cost in compassion and humanity in later life, both in the private and public domain. Her message is clear: 'people whose integrity has not been damaged in childhood; will feel no need to harm another person or themselves.
Dr Miller's books, refreshingly free of jargon, read like picturesque fiction * RUTH RENDELL *
All too believable.. Her thesis is icily simple. * NEW STATESMAN AND SOCIETY *
Alice Miller is one of the leading authorities on the causes and consequences of child-abuse and is the author of numerous books on the subject.
