Alice Miller Libros

El cuarto mandamiento –«Honrarás a tu padre y a tu madre»– nos exige honrar a nuestros padres, pero también oculta una amenaza. Aquellos que desean cumplirlo a pesar de haber sido maltratados deben reprimir sus verdaderas emociones, lo que a menudo provoca que el cuerpo se rebela con enfermedades graves. Alice Miller, en su nueva obra, explica a través de numerosos ejemplos los mensajes que estas enfermedades revelan y cómo la vivencia de emociones prohibidas nos ayuda a comprender estos mensajes del alma, permitiéndonos liberarnos de síntomas y traumas. A lo largo de sus libros, Miller ha explorado la negación del sufrimiento infantil, y en esta obra se centra en las consecuencias de la disociación entre emociones auténticas y la experiencia corporal. Se aborda el conflicto entre lo que sentimos, lo que nuestro cuerpo ha registrado y lo que creemos que deberíamos sentir según normas morales interiorizadas. La autora revela esta regularidad psicobiológica en la primera parte, utilizando biografías de escritores como Schiller, Joyce, Proust, Virginia Woolf y Mishima. Las siguientes secciones analizan cómo romper el ciclo del autoengaño para facilitar la liberación de síntomas que el cuerpo utiliza para llamar nuestra atención.

La autora destaca que nadie ha nacido con odio, que el odio no es nuestro destino y que es posible evitarlo si llegamos a entender que nace de la humillación a la que sometemos habitualmente a nuestros hijos.

Exploring the profound impact of parental cruelty, this contemporary classic by Alice Miller delves into the dangerous consequences it can have on children.

What Fire is about how to continue as catastrophe crawls in, when the climate crisis has its grip on us all, the internet has been shut down, and the buildings are burning up. In her third collection, Alice Miller takes a fierce, unflinching look at the world we live in, at what we have made, and whether it is possible to change.

Alice Miller has achieved worldwide recognition for her work on the causes and effects of child abuse; on violence towards children and its cost to society. For more than twenty years she taught and practised psychoanalysis; now she questions the validity of psychoanalytic theories and common psychiatric methods. THE UNTOUCHED KEY is a powerful and provocative synthesis of Alice Miller's ideas and experience. With her usual impeccable clarity, insight and logic she explores the clues- often overlooked in biography- connecting unnoticed childhood trauma to adult creativity and destructiveness. What did Picasso express in 'Guernica'? Why did Buster Keaton never smile? Why did Nietzsche lose his mind for eleven years? Why did Hitler become a mass murderer? Her conclusions reveal the roots and consequences of our centuries-old existence on obeying repressive parental figures- including psychiatrists and psychotherapists- and challenge us to unlock the door to our true childhood history in order to regain our lost awareness and our full life.

The bestselling book on childhood trauma and the enduring effects of repressed anger and pain Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This wise and profound book has provided millions of readers with an answer--and has helped them to apply it to their own lives. Far too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents' expectations and win their "love." Alice Miller writes, "When I used the word 'gifted' in the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb.... Without this 'gift' offered us by nature, we would not have survived." But merely surviving is not enough. The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own crucial needs and our own truth.

In this volume, the author draws on research on brain development to show how spanking and humiliation produce dangerous levels of denial in children, leading to emotional blindness and mental barriers that cut off awareness and new ways of of acting. She offers ways to heal these psychic wounds.

“Marvelous.” —Paula McLain A New York Times Book Review Summer Reading Selection On the eve of World War I, twenty-one-year-old Georgie Hyde-Lees meets the acclaimed poet W. B. Yeats at a soirée in London. Although Yeats is famously eccentric and many years her senior, Georgie is drawn to him, and when he extends a cryptic invitation to a secret society, her life is forever changed. As zeppelins stalk overhead and bombs bloom against the skyline, Georgie finds purpose tending to injured soldiers in a makeshift hospital. She befriends the wounded and heartbroken Lieutenant Pike, who might need more from her than she is able to give. At night, she escapes with Yeats into a darker world, becoming immersed in the Order, a clandestine society of ritual and magic. As forces—both of this world and the next—pull Yeats and Georgie closer together and then apart, Georgie uncovers a secret that threatens to undo it all. In bright, commanding prose, author Alice Miller illuminates the fascinating and unforgettable courtship of Georgie Hyde-Lees and W. B. Yeats. A sweeping tale of faith and love, lost and found and fought for, More Miracle than Bird ingeniously captures the moments—both large and small—on which the fates of whole lives and countries hinge.

Essai d'explication des répercussions sur le comportement adulte, des mauvais traitements d'une éducation répressive reçus dans la petite enfance. Après un survol et une dénonciation de la "pédagogie noire" des deux derniers siècles, l'auteure explicite sa thèse à l'aide de trois cas: Christiane F. (autodestruction par la drogue); Adolf Hitler (la destruction d'autrui); Jürgen Bartsch (un criminel). La drogue, la psychose et la criminalité sont des "expressions codées des expériences de la petite enfance". SDM
