Bøger af Alice Miller

Den kendte psykoterapeut Alice Miller beskæftiger sig med årsagerne til traumer i barndommen og med forebygelsen af dem. Hun beskriver følgerne af fortrængning og de muligheder, der findes for at blive befriet for tidligt opståede traumer.

Sandheden om den ødelagte barndom er ilde hørt. For at overleve psykisk fortrænger vi og ønsker vi en solid mur af tavshed omkring os. Men overlevelse på de vilkår betyder iscenesættelser af den fortrængte smerte - vold og umenneskelighed mod andre eller yderligere forkrampning af os selv.Derfor står tavshedsmuren - som andre mure i disse år - for fald, men ikke uden en energisk indsats. Alice Miller fører an i dette nedbrydningsarbejde, i sin nye bog ved bl.a. at stille skarpt på psykiatriens og pressens fortielser, Nicolae Ceausescus groteske iscenesættelser og abortmodstandernes hykleri.

'Rare and compelling in its compassion and its unassuming eloquence...her examples are so vivid and so ordinary they touch the hurt child in us all' New York Magazine

An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating effects by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts.

Psychohistorical analyses of such tyrants as Hitler, Stalin and Ceausescu have shown the links between the horrors of their childhoods and that which they inflict on the world. In this text, Miller pleads for awareness of society's role in child abuse and for recognition of the victim.

Miller's wide and profound book about childhood trauma has provided thousands of readers with guidance and hope, and is essential reading for those interested in psychology, psychotherapy, and more.

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.

Quando crianças, muitos de nós aprendemos a esconder nossos sentimentos e necessidades para corresponder às expectativas de nossos pais e, desse modo, garantir o ¿amor¿ deles. Segundo Alice Miller, esse dom de se adaptar é uma estratégia de sobrevivência diante dos abusos sofridos na infância, e tem um custo: a supressão do próprio eu. É com base nessa compreensão que a autora examina os efeitos duradouros dos traumas de infância, que se traduzem em sentimentos de vazio e alienação. Ilustrado com relatos de pacientes, trechos de diários pessoais e excertos literários, este livro ajuda o leitor a reconhecer as próprias emoções e necessidades e descobrir sua verdade interior. Esta nova edição inclui um posfácio escrito pela autora e, ainda, o texto ¿As raízes da violênciä, inédito em português, em que Miller faz um resumo das consequências trágicas da violência contra a criança.

Alice Miller nos permite comprender estos mensajes que nos envía el alma y así liberarnos de los síntomas e, incluso, de los traumas.

Den bandlyste viden tager tråden op fra Du må ikke mærke og belyser fra nye synsvinkler den tidlige barndoms smerte, som giver os livslange vanskeligheder. Alice Miller skærper sin kritik af de faktiske overgreb, som barnet psykisk og fysisk udsættes for, og af de fortielser og idylliseringer, barndommen ofte iklædes. Vores tilbøjelighed til at tage vores forældres skyld på os og tilgive dem al mishandling umuliggør en virkelig frigørelse og en vellykket terapi.I bogens anden del fortæller Alice Miller om sin personlige vej til barnet i den voksne og om behovet for ledsagelse, i barndommens land såvel som i terapien. Det fører afslutningsvis til en skarp kritik af den freudske terapimetode, som efter hendes mening forhindrer egentlig drømmetydning.Alice Miller (1926-2010), schweizisk psykoanalytiker, har også på Hans Reitzels Forlag udgivet Det selvudslettende barn, Livets veje, Tavshedsmurens fald, Du må ikke mærke og I begyndelsen var opdragelsen.Den bandlyste viden udkom første gang på dansk i 1989 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

Du må ikke mærke er et aldrig udtalt, men tidligt internaliseret bud. Det viser sig i vores trang til så tidligt som muligt i vores opdragelse at indgive børnene en følelse af skyld og mindreværd.I bogen anskueliggøres bl.a. Sigmund Freuds driftsteoriers sociale baggrund gennem en udførlig analyse af Ulvemanden, Freuds berømte patient.Bogen henvender sig specielt til læsere med interesse for pædagogik, psykologi, sociologi og psykiatri.Alice Miller (1926-2010), schweizisk psykoanalytiker, har også på Hans Reitzels Forlag udgivet Det selvudslettende barn, Livets veje, Tavshedsmurens fald, Den bandlyste viden og I begyndelsen var opdragelsen.Du må ikke mærke udkom første gang på dansk i 1985 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

”De velopdragne menneskers tragedie består i, at de som voksne ikke kan mærke, hvad der er blevet gjort mod dem, og hvad de selv gør, hvis de ikke har måttet mærke det som børn. Det lever utallige institutioner højt på og ikke mindst de totalitære regimer. I vores, det muliges tidsalder, kan også psykologien levere skæbnesvangre bidrag til betingning af den enkelte, af familier og hele nationer. Betingning og manipulation af andre er altid et våben og et instrument for magtudøvelse, også selv om dette camoufleres med ord som ’opdragelse’ eller ’terapeutisk behandling’. Eftersom magtudøvelsen over andre mennesker og dens misbrug for det meste har den funktion at hindre følelser af egen afmagt, altså ofte styres ubevidst, kan etiske argumenter ikke standse denne proces.” (Alice Miller, fra bogens efterskrift)Alice Miller (1926-2010), schweizisk psykoanalytiker, har også på Hans Reitzels Forlag udgivet Det selvudslettende barn, Livets veje, Du må ikke mærke, Den bandlyste viden og Tavshedsmurens fald.I begyndelsen var opdragelsen udkom første gang på dansk i 1984 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

I syv bevægende historier og to tankevækkende essays tager Alice Miller tråden op fra sine tidligere bøger og viser, med udgangspunkt i forskellige skæbner, hvordan en dårlig barndom ikke behøver præge resten af livet. Øget bevidsthed og møder med gode mennesker kan sætte en fri fra det automatliv, man fører, når man gentager sine forældres ugerninger.Alice Miller bruger bl.a. Adolf Hitler til at anskueliggøre, hvilke udslag forskellige former for børnemishandling kan give i samfundet.Forfatteren viser, hvordan diktatorer ofte har den uforløste barndom og det despotiske væsen til fælles med de terapiguruer, mange opsøger. Men først og fremmest viser hun, hvordan almindelige mennesker kan konfrontere deres angst og dermed leve et friere liv.Bogen udkom første gang på dansk i 1998 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.
