Don't Notice. The Reality of Childhood and the Dogmas of Psychoanalysis

"Don't notice" what you had to endure in childhood: abuse and sexual violence from adults. This unspoken taboo is explored by psychoanalyst Alice Miller, a specialist in early childhood traumas. She critiques psychoanalysis, particularly Freud's theory of drives, and questions why many psychoanalysts who began their research on violence against children later abandoned their ideas for some reason.
Miller discusses the influence of "black pedagogy" and reliance on the commandment that states, "Honor your father and your mother...", as well as the consequences that arise from ignoring a child's needs, providing vivid examples from the biographies and works of V. Woolf, C. Baudelaire, F. Kafka, and others.
The author reveals to the reader how important it is to have an understanding and accepting person who will accompany the patient on the path of such painful and difficult memories and realizations.
For psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, as well as anyone interested in childhood issues.
