Praise for Thou Shalt Not Be Aware

Epoch-making . . . Alice Millers courage, warmth, experienced intuition and candor yield fascinating insights. The Boston Globe

A provocative critique of traditional therapys view of childhood . . . This is explosive stuff. I cant imagine anyone coming away from this book without several newfound discoveries about herself and her relation to her parents. Glamour

Thou Shalt Not Be Aware is that rarest of gems, a highly creative and exciting work which throws a multifaceted light upon the development of human nature in the Western World. Ashley Montagu

Alice Miller is not out to hang the bastards, but rather to help create a world of self-conscious and self-loving individuals who dont need, want or know how to abuse others. San Francisco Chronicle

It is timely. It is powerful. It is painful . . . absorbing, enlightening and provoking. Charlotte Observer
