The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting

An examination of childhood trauma and its debilitating effects by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts.

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.

In this empowering work readers will learn how to confront the overt and covert traumas of their own childhoods with the enlightened guidance of Alice Miller. Alice Miller’s arguments are lucid, closely reasoned, and utterly convincing." 

Alice Miller (1923-2010) is the author of such classic works as The Drama of the Gifted Child, Prisoners of Childhood, From Rage to Courage, and Free from Lies.
