Vergiftete Kindheit

"You shall honor your father and mother," demands the Bible - regardless of whether they have insulted and beaten you, mocked and tormented you? Millions of people experienced their childhood as a nightmare. But because they were defenseless, dependent victims, they cannot name the culprits and direct their negative feelings helplessly against themselves. In adulthood, the poisoned childhood still has repercussions - low self-esteem and latent aggression are the consequences.

Susan Forward aims to help break this vicious cycle. Using numerous examples from her psychotherapeutic practice, she first explains in detail and with empathy the subtle mechanisms that operate between parents and children. She then outlines step by step how adults can finally escape the dark shadow of their childhood.
