Synopsis
A tight clean copy, no markings throughout.\n\nTranslation of: Am Anfang war Erziehung. Bibliography: p. 281-284.\n\n"Alice Miller's For Your Own Good expands on and drives home with great ferocity the point of her earlier and brilliant Prisoners of Childhood. She makes chillingly clear to the many what has been recognized only by the few: the extraordinary pain and psychological suffering inflicted on children under the guise of conventional child-rearing and pedagogy. One may quibble with some of Alice Miller's conclusions, but there is no arguing with her essential and extremely moving thesis." \n-Maurice Sendak

Review
Dr Miller's books, refreshingly free of jargon, read like picturesque fiction (RUTH RENDELL)
All too believable... Her thesis is icily simple. (NEW STATESMAN AND SOCIETY)
