The boy who was raised as a dog : and other stories from a child psychiatrist's notebook : what traumatized children can teach us about loss, love, and healing

Perry, Bruce Duncan 1955- (author.). Szalavitz, Maia (author.).

Summary: How does trauma affect a child's mind and how can that mind recover? In this work Dr. Perry explains what happens to the brains of children exposed to extreme stress and shares their lessons of courage, humanity, and hope. Only when we understand the science of the mind and the power of love and nurturing, can we hope to heal the spirit of even the most wounded child.
