Her conclusions--on what sort of parenting can create a drug addict, or a murderer, or a Hitler--offer much insight, and make a good deal of sense, while also straying far from psychoanalytic dogma about human nature, which Miller vehemently rejects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis important study paints a shocking picture of the violent world--indeed, of the ever-more-violent world--that each generation helps to create when traditional upbringing, with its hidden cruelty, is perpetuated. The book also presents readers with useful solutions in this regard--namely, to resensitize the victimized child who has been trapped within the adult, and to unlock the emotional life that has been frozen in repression.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther books by \u003cb\u003eAlice Miller\u003c\/b\u003e, the internationally renowned psychoanalyst, include \u003ci\u003eThe Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Cruel Parenting\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Truth Will Set You Free: Overcoming Emotional Blindness and Finding Your True Adult Self\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBanished Knowledge: Facing Childhood Injuries\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBreaking Down the Wall of Silence: The Liberating Experience of Facing Painful Truth\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Untouched Key: Tracing Childhood Trauma in Creativity and Destructiveness\u003c\/i\u003e.
