Making Sense of Suffering: The Healing Confrontation with Your Own Past by J. Konrad Stettbacher, Alice Miller

1.0

I couldn’t finish this book. To me, it was outdated psychology that blames the mother for improper child rearing. Maybe it was the translation (it was written in German) but there wasn’t an implication of true trauma or abuse. The outdated psychology of mother blaming isn’t worth the time for me to try to find grains of knowledge in the treatment aspect of this book.

A short book outlining the general theory and practice of primal therapy. Interesting stuff, particularly as it gets such high marks from Alice Miller. If you haven’t read Alice Miller, make sure to do so before or while reading this book for a deeper understanding, as this book is more of an outline than a treatise.
