«Du sollst nicht merken. Variationen über das Paradies- Thema.» is the essay by Alice Miller, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (410 pages, in German).
In this essay, Alice Miller analyzes childhood and the mechanisms of repression that prevent the recognition of child abuse. The author criticizes the dogmas of psychoanalysis that ignore the reality of childhood and explores how early traumas resurface in adult life. The title refers to the injunction not to notice that suffering.
Originally published in 1981, this 1983 edition includes a new epilogue by the author. No. 952 in the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch series.
Recommended for readers interested in psychology, psychoanalysis and child education, as well as in the work of Alice Miller.
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.
