More than 20 years ago, a little known Swiss psychoanalyst
wrote a book that changed the way many people viewed themselves and
their world. In simple but powerful prose, the deeply moving "The
Drama of Being a Child" shows how parents unconsciously form and
deform the emotional lives of their children. In "The Truth Will
Set You Free" Miller returns to the intensely personal tone and
themes of her best-loved work. She says, "I simply refuse to see
obedience as a virtue, curiosity as a sin, and ignorance of good
and evil as an ideal state". Only by embracing the truth of our
past histories can any of us hope to be free of pain in the
present, she argues. Miller''s vivid true stories reveal the perils
of early-childhood mistreatment and the dangers of mindless
obedience to parental will. Drawing on the latest research on brain
development, she shows how spanking and humiliation produce
dangerous levels of denial. This denial, necessary for the child''s
survival, leads to emotional blindness and finally to mental
barriers that cut off awareness and the ability to learn new ways
of acting. If this cycle repeats itself, the grown child will
perpetrate the same abuse on later generations, warns Miller. "The
Truth Will Set You Free" should provoke and inform all readers who
want to know Alice Miller''s latest thinking on this important
subject.
