Description
Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This wise and profound book has provided thousands of readers with an answer and has helped them 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 to 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.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Drama of the Gifted Child continues to receive praise for its insightful examination of how childhood experiences shape adult behaviour and emotions. Many reviewers appreciate Alice Miller's profound explorations into the emotional wounds gifted and sensitive children endure, highlighting the importance of facing repressed feelings for personal healing and growth. Some readers have noted the book's ability to provide clarity and validation for their own childhood experiences, though some critiques mention that its intense psychological insights may not resonate with everyone.
