«Der gemiedene Schlüssel» is Alice Miller's psychology essay, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (193 pages, in German).
Alice Miller argues that repressed childhood wounds continue to act in adult life and can be expressed in creativity or destructiveness. Through biographies such as those of Nietzsche, Käthe Kollwitz and Buster Keaton, she shows how unprocessed suffering filters into work and behavior, and stresses the importance of acknowledging it.
1991 edition; number 1812 in Suhrkamp Taschenbuch. Includes an author's preface and bibliography; the original work was published in 1988.
For those interested in psychology, psychoanalysis and education, particularly in the influence of childhood experiences on adult life.
Alice Miller was a Polish-Swiss psychologist, psychoanalyst, and philosopher noted for her books on parental child abuse, translated into several languages. She was also a noted public intellectual. Her 1979 book The Drama of the Gifted Child caused a sensation and became an international bestseller upon the English publication in 1981. Her views on the consequences of child abuse became highly influential in the fields of child development, psychotherapy, and trauma. In her books she departed from psychoanalysis, charging it with being similar to the poisonous pedagogies.
