The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting

Synopsis

Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst alice miller examined so persuasively the long-range consequences of childhood abuse on the body. Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical stories of literary giants such as virginia woolf, franz kafka, and marcel proust, miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness―be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases.
