Book Club Announcement: "The Drama of the Gifted Child" by Alice Miller
Join us for our next Book Club session as we explore Alice Miller’s groundbreaking work, "The Drama of the Gifted Child".
About the Book:
Alice Miller’s classic examines the emotional challenges faced by children who are highly sensitive or talented. Miller redefines "gifted" not as academic achievement, but as emotional sensitivity—the ability to adapt and survive even in difficult childhood circumstances. The book delves into how parental expectations and societal pressures can lead gifted children to suppress their true selves, resulting in struggles with identity, perfectionism, and emotional well-being in adulthood.
