Alice Miller Defines Child Abuse

Alice Miller makes chillingly clear to the many

what has been recognized only by the few:

the extraordinary pain and psychological suffering

inflicted on children under the guise of conventional childrearing.
- Maurice Sendak

Alice Miller has written 13 books on child abuse. She has a PhD in Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology and researches childhood. She remains actively involved in changing the world children live in. Miller defines child abuse:

Humiliations, spankings and beatings, slaps in the face, betrayal, sexual
exploitation, derision, neglect, etc. are all forms of mistreatment, because
they injure the integrity and dignity of a child, even if their consequences are
not visible right away.
