For Your Own Good
Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence
Book • 1980
In this book, Alice Miller investigates the personal stories and case histories of self-destructive and violent individuals to illustrate the long-term effects of abusive child-rearing.
She argues that traditional upbringing, often characterized by hidden cruelty, contributes to a more violent world.
Miller rejects psychoanalytic dogma and instead offers insights into how such parenting can lead to severe behavioral issues, including drug addiction and violence.
The book also proposes solutions, such as resensitizing the victimized child within the adult and unlocking repressed emotional life.
