Book Preview:Children subjected to unspeakable cruelty and neglect are deeply impacted by such trauma, which in turn affects their growth and behavior. In The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog (2017), psychiatrist Bruce D. Perry and his co-writer Maya Szalavitz approach childhood trauma following a hands-on method. Based on Perry's clinical experience, they explore cases of trauma and development, reveal the lessons that can be learned from these often-misunderstood children, and detail the techniques psychiatry uses to treat them.
