I was given this book by my psychologist to deal with my “so-called” manic depression. I trust science (the pills). I trust religion rooted in tradition. I don’t trust Alice Miller. Sorry, but my existence requires more depth than blaming all the problems in the world and in my life on my parents, specifically my mother, and how they failed to live up to Miller’s idealistic, goofy, and hockey expectations. She’s peddling snake oil folks.

If Bloom likes it, it must be crap. I’ve never read it, but I’ll bet Bloom never watched all of Flags of Our Fathers or all of Letters From Iwo Jima, cause he said they were “unwatchable”. So this is for you, you Bloomin’ idiot!!

So I’ll make my review short-n-sweet: The book honestly wasn’t too much to brag about. It’s written almost in textbook style which I loathe with a passion. I enjoy a more creative style of writing when relaxing at home after or before work.
It wasn’t what I expected overall, and decided to make some good use of it and donate it to the local library. So if your in the Hudson Valley area [in NY], simply request it sent to one of the libraries there. They will send it right over–this way you can save your cash.
I don’t recall the copyright of “The Drama of the Gifted Child”, however it seems to me it was written sometimes in the ancient 60′s area. {You know, that BORING style of writing!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK !!!!}

Most of the information is very “theoritical” and “limited” — author focus mainly on her own analysis of her mother and her relationship with her. … In a nutshell, the message is that a dysfunctional mother’ll pass her emotioanal issues to her daughter(s), and in turn, the daughter(s) may pass that onto her offspring(s). …
