About this ebook:
Alice Millerin Lahjakkaan lapsen tragedia on modernin psykoterapian klassikkoja, meilläkin runsain mitoin kiitelty teos, josta mm. Arto Kytöhonka kirjoitti: "En tiedä kehen Milleriä vertaisin. Jotain liki luvatonta on siinä, miten kokenut ja oivaltava tutkija voi puhua yhtä aikaa niin harkitusti ja kuitenkin niin vaivattomasti kuin ihminen ihmiselle." Toisessa teoksessaan maineikas sveitsiläinen psykoanalyytikko muotouttaa näkemyksensä entistä lujemmaksi kokonaisuudeksi. Hän osoittaa ne länsimaisen kasvatuksen piirteet, jotka ovat omiaan heikentämään lapsen minuutta ja kehittämään aikuisiässä epätoivottuja reaktioita, masennusta ja alistuvuutta, pahimmillaan jopa itsetuhoa ja tai väkivaltaisuutta. Näkemyksensä järkyttävinä esimerkkeinä hän esittää kolme tapausta: narkomaanin (Kööpenhaminassa kuolleen Christiane F:n), diktaattorin (Adolf Hitlerin) ja lapsenmurhaajan (Jürgen Bartschin) lapsuuden taustat ja elämänkohtalot.
