Wow, I did not know that! I had read “Drama of the Gifted Child” years ago, thought it sounded like me, but that didn’t really help anything much.

I looked up Martin Miller and read an interview with him online. Very interesting.

Sounds like maybe Alice Miller in “Drama” was describing a situation she knew well (and recognized in her clients?), but did not how to get out of it herself? So then a question may be – having identified that you are caught in that cycle/trap, how to get out? Sounds like neither of the Dr. Millers really know/knew that?
