On the reality of childhood Alice Miller studied at Basel in 1953 where he earned his doctorate in philosophy. He practiced his profession as a psychoanalyst in Zurich but quit to devote himself entirely to research on children. In 1986 he received New York Janusz Korczak Award.
Of the 192 UN member countries, only 18 have banned hitting children. In the U.S. there are still 20 states where corporal punishment is allowed in elementary school and about teens. People who can
outraged with these events and are aware of its serious consequences, shall, without any difficulty, all the books he has written Alice Miller. Also understand why the author insists, even at his advanced age, to free the society of his ignorance.
Through his books, articles, brochures, interviews and email responses from readers on its website us shows that maltreatment of children occurs not only unhappy and disturbed children, adolescents and parents who abuse destructive but also a society that functions often disturbed in an extremely irrational.
Thanks to his research on children, Alice Miller has recognized that violence against children leads to global violence that reigns in the world, especially if it starts to hit children in the early years of his life, just at the time when your brain is built. Even if the consequences are obvious outrageous, society does not perceive, let alone take them into account. However, the situation is easy to understand: children have no right to defend themselves against violence from their parents and are forced to suppress and repress natural reactions to aggression from their parents such as anger and anxiety. Just as adults can download these strong emotions about their own children, or in some cases, entire nations.
Alice Miller describes this dynamic in his 13 books and illustrated stories of helping their patients and with the help of numerous studies on the biographies of dictators and well-known artists. The omission of this argument on children by society causes in children, in the familiar dark extremely dangerous behaviors such as brutality, sadism and other perversions we like to call then, in the adult "genetic disorders." It is only awareness of this dynamic enabling us to break the chain of violence, Alice Miller thinks that all his work devoted to this clarification.
In recent years, Alice Miller has developed a concept of therapy, which proposes to suffering people, confronted with his past to find the child's distress were abused, so feel free. Is the child to the parents fear that pushing the all-powerful adults to mistreat children or accept living with serious illnesses, minimizing fully the cruelty of their parents. There are many esoteric propositions spiritual healing promise but in reality its only purpose is to camouflage the terrors experienced in childhood.
Alice Miller thinks that despite the tragic aspect of his discovery, this however provides positive options and upbeat as it opens the door of consciousness, perception of reality of the child while the child's freedom from fear adult and its destructive effects. Their perception of the real experience of the child is no longer linked to that of psychoanalysis. In his view it remains in line with the old tradition that accuses protects children and parents both in theory and in practice. For this reason Alice Miller no longer a member of the International Association of Psychoanalysis. Alice Miller
