Summary Dr. Alice Miller explains her conviction that violence and cruelty in society have their roots in conventional child rearing and in education - a discovery that has profound implications for us all. She shows how many children, adapted from birth to the needs and ambitions of their parents, lose the ability to experience and express their true feelings, eventually to become estranged from their real selves.--COVER
