She is as determined as ever to cut through the veil that, for thousands of years now, has been so meticulously woven to shroud the truth. When she lifts that veil and brushes it aside, the results are astonishing, amply demonstrated by her analyses of the works of Nietzsche, Picasso, Käthe Kollwitz, Buster Keaton, and others. With the key shunned by so many for so long--childhood--she opens rusty locks and offers her readers a wealth of unexpected perspectives. What did Picasso express in \u003ci\u003eGuernica\u003c\/i\u003e? Why did Buster Keaton never smile? Why did Nietzsche heap so much opprobrium on women and religion and lose his mind for 11 years? Why did Hitler and Stalin become tyrannical mass murderers? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Miller investigates these and other questions thoroughly in this book. She also shows why some mistreated children do not become criminals, but instead bear witness as artists to the truth about their childhoods, even though in purely intuitive and unconscious ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.19w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385267649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/25\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALICE MILLER (1923-2010) is the author of such classic works as \u003ci\u003eThe Drama of the Gifted Child, Prisoners of Childhood, The Body Never Lies, From Rage to Courage\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFree from Lies.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939191586931,"sku":"9.78039E+12","price":21.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d0a418ae-522d-4cc0-879f-06691c34bdb3.jpg?v=1758877783","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-untouched-key-tracing-childhood-trauma-in-creativity-and-destructiveness-9780385267649","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
