Text de Alice Milleren Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 iul 2008
The
bestselling
book
on
childhood
trauma
and
the
enduring
effects
of
repressed
anger
and
pain
Why
are
many
of
the
most
successful
people
plagued
by
feelings
of
emptiness
and
alienation?
This
wise
and
profound
book
has
provided
millions
of
readers
with
an
answer--and
has
helped
them
to
apply
it
to
their
own
lives.
Far
too
many
of
us
had
to
learn
as
children
to
hide
our
own
feelings,
needs,
and
memories
skillfully
in
order
to
meet
our
parents'
expectations
and
win
their
"love."
Alice
Miller
writes,
"When
I
used
the
word
'gifted'
in
the
title,
I
had
in
mind
neither
children
who
receive
high
grades
in
school
nor
children
talented
in
a
special
way.
I
simply
meant
all
of
us
who
have
survived
an
abusive
childhood
thanks
to
an
ability
to
adapt
even
to
unspeakable
cruelty
by
becoming
numb....
Without
this
'gift'
offered
us
by
nature,
we
would
not
have
survived."
But
merely
surviving
is
not
enough.The
Drama
of
the
Gifted
Childhelps
us
to
reclaim
our
life
by
discovering
our
own
crucial
needs
and
our
own
truth.

Descriere
The bestselling book on childhood trauma and the enduring effects of repressed anger and pain
Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This wise and profound book has provided millions of readers with an answer--and has helped them to apply it to their own lives.
Far too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents' expectations and win their "love." Alice Miller writes, "When I used the word 'gifted' in the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb.... Without this 'gift' offered us by nature, we would not have survived." But merely surviving is not enough. The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own crucial needs and our own truth.
