Banished Knowledge: Facing Childhood Injuries

For many years Alice Miller has sought to eliminate her own repression. Having rejected her long involvement with psychoanalysis as a theory that obscures the truth, even revising her bestselling book THE DRAMA OF BEING A CHILD, she searched for, and found, a therapy that would help her resolve the consequences of her own childhood traumas. She believes that we can all, given sufficient motivation and instructions, follow her path: feel, and free, the banished and injured child within us and, by letting that child speak, condemn the abuse and achieve liberation. It is her profound conviction that only then can we give our children the love, trust, protection and openness they need to become liberated and contented adults.
