Product Description
A world-renowned child psychiatrist takes us inside his pioneering work with trauma victims to offer a groundbreaking new perspective on how stress and violence affect children's brains--and how they can be helped to heal.

Here he tells their stories of trauma and transformation.

Educational and Eye-opening! October 26, 2009
Jessica Wynne (San Francisco, CA)
After reading just half of the book, I was not only aching with anger for all the parents and situations that these children have had to endure, but I quickly had to go and purchase a few other copies for friends and relatives. As a child care professional myself, it was recommended by one of my colleagues, and well Bruce Perry is one psychiatrist I choose to hold in very high esteem. I feel that there is one psychiatrist who is opening the eyes to all people who work or parent or love children. One psychiatrist out of the millions we have working today, why did it take so long? Perry's approach has finally proven to be successful due to the simple need in all of us to love and be loved. Nurturance, tolerance, and learning through the senses are the basic needs each and every one of us needs to live.

B. C. Webb (Dodge, Texas)
I wish I had read this book when my children were small. I would have done things differently and understood why. It should be a must read for all parents of small childern.
Offers a set of insights especially recommended for medical libraries as well as general lending collections September 16, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
What happens when a young child is traumatized, and how can a child recover from terror? THE BOY WHO WAS RAISED AS A DOG AND OTHER STORIES FROM A CHILD PSYCHIATRIST'S NOTEBOOK examines what traumatized children can teach us about loss, love and healing processes. It explains what happens to the brain when children are exposed to extreme stress, reveals methods for helping kids move past pain, and offers a set of insights especially recommended for medical libraries as well as general lending collections.
Great! August 28, 2009
Laura M. Griffin (Wisconsin)
The Boy Who was Raised as a Dog by Dr Bruce Perry pulls you on a journey with some of the children Perry has known. The writing is such that you cannot put it down. Dr Perry's ideas of how the brain works and how art as therapy works with the PTSD affected children was incredible. It's a must read for anyone interested in psychology.
 Interesting, useful for the layman too. May 23, 2009
M. E. Bannister (Dunedin New Zealand)
I have enjoyed reading this book, it is well writen and raises issues which I am sure trouble all who are concerned with the welfare of infants and children. In addition I think that any layman reading it must also hear the message that we abuse and neglect our children at our own peril, as criminality begins, by and large, in early life.
