"THE INSANITY OF NORMALITY: TOWARD UNDERSTANDING HUMAN DESTRUCTIVENESS by ARNO GRUEN According to Sigmund Freud, man is born with an innate tendency to destruction and violence; in THE INSANITY OF NORMALITY, the psychoanalyst Arno Gruen challenges that assumption, arguing instead that at the root of evil lies self-hatred, a rage originating in a self-betrayal that begins in childhood, when autonomy is surrendered in exchange for th ..."
"This book was written to show that light is a primal element of life. All life originates and develops under the influence of the light of the sun, that "super terrestrial natural force" (Goethe). Sunlight influences the vital processes not onlyofthe plant (e. g. , heliotropism, photosynthesis) and the animal (e. g. , color change, maturation of the gonads) but of man as well. The human organism too reacts " ..."
""A provactive critique of traditional therapy's view of childhood . . . This is explosive stuff. I can't imagine anyone coming away from this book without several newfound discoveries about herself and her relation to her parents."--Nancy Evans, "Glamour" Originally published in 1984, "Thou Shalt Not Be Aware" explodes Freud's notions of "infantile sexuality" and helps to bring to the world's attention the brutal reality of child abuse, ..."

With her typically lucid, strong, and poetic language, Miller investigates the personal stories and case histories of various self-destructive and/or violent individuals to expand on her theorie ..."

"According to Sigmund Freud, man is born with an innate tendency to destruction and violence; in The Insanity of Normality, the psychoanalyst Arno Gruen challenges that assumption, arguing instead that at the root of evil lies self-hatred, a rage originating in a self-betrayal that begins in childhood, when autonomy is surrendered in exchange for the "love" of those who wield power over us.To share in that subjugating power, we create a ..."
""A Life in Two Worlds" is the autobiography of a man who lived two lives, one as an Expressionist dramatist in the cultural ferment of Germany's Weimar Republic and the other as eminent teacher and scholar of German literature after his emigration to the United States in 1936. In these pages, Hitler's Germany is seen from the inside, as is American academic life in both its positive and negative aspects. Innovative in its form, this boo ..."

"As in her former books, Alice Miller again focusses on facts. She is as determined as ever to cut through the veil that, for thousands of years now, has been so meticulously woven to shroud the truth. And when she lifts that veil and brushes it aside, the results are astonishing, as is amply demonstrated by her analyses of the works of Nietzsche, Picasso, Kollwitz, Keaton and others. With the key shunned by so many for so long - childho ..."
"For example, only one obstetrician had to gain access to his feelings in order for
the cruelty of presentday childbirth methods to be exposed (see Frédéric Leboyer
, Birth Without Violence). Astonishingly enough, virtually no one had noticed this
cruelty before. Therefore, when I speak and write about the desirability of
becoming sensitized to the narcissistic needs and wounds of early childhood, I
am by no means trying to arouse fe ..."

"Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence Alice Miller. Preface.
to. the. 2002. Edition: The. Hidden. Truth. THIS BOOK appeared twenty-two years
ago, when child abuse was not an issue. People were shocked at my description
of what I called “poisonous pedagogy”; they had thought that children were
subjected to this kind of maltreatment, lies, hypocrisy, and manipulation only in
Germany, and not within the past hundre ..."
"Preface. BEFORE there was Alice Miller, there were few voices telling the truth
about our betrayal of our children. As she points out in this book, Freud and most
psychoanalysts were little different from others in blaming children for their own
abuse. Freud once called a girl patient “hysterical” who was molested by her
father (the father was a friend of Freud's) because she complained about her
molestation. It was children's sens ..."
"A refreshing attack on the neuroses of news gathering ... these anxieties have never been expressed more intelligently and forcefully than in Bourdieu's book. It should be on the reading list not just of every journalist, but of everybody on the receiving end of the media.' The Guardian'l recommend Bourdieu's lively book.' John Pilger' As much an urgent 'intervention' as a magisterial argument: Bourdieu uses persuasion and polemic to al ..."

"Explores the sources of violence within ourselves & the way these are encouraged by orthodox child-rearing practices. Challenging the way in which we rationalize punishment & coercion as being for the child s own good , Miller illuminates the cost in compassion & humanity in later life. She argues that child abuse is still highly regarded in our society as long as it is defined as childrearing, & that parents beat their children in orde ..."
