The boy who was raised like a dog

It used to be thought that children were able to easily recover even from the most severe shocks, and most psychological traumas were simply forgotten. However, many years of research prove that tragic events have a huge impact on a child’s personality and cause profound mental disorders. World-renowned psychiatrist Bruce Perry has worked for decades with severely traumatized children: survivors of genocide, witnesses of murders, victims of physical or sexual abuse, and cruel treatment. Through the stories of his young patients, Perry reveals the amazing ability of the brain to heal and transform. Combining the results of scientific research and unexpected approaches to treatment, the doctor clearly explains how to alleviate children’s suffering and help them grow up to be healthy adults.
