For your own good :
Miller, Alice
For your own good : hidden cruelty in child-rearing and the roots of violence / Alice Miller ; translated by Hildegarde and Hunter Hannum. - London : Faber, 1983. - xvii, 284p. ; 22cm.
Bibliography: p281-284.
Alice Miller explores the sources of violence within ourselves and the way these are encouraged by orthodox childrearing practices. Challenging the way in which we rationalise punishment and coercion as being for the child's 'own good', she illuminates the cost in compassion and humanity in later life, both in the private and public domain. Her message is clear: 'people whose integrity has not been damaged in childhood; will feel no need to harm another person or themselves.
