Publisher's Summary
A renowned psychiatrist reveals how trauma affects children—and outlines the path to recovery.
"Fascinating and upbeat.... Dr. Perry is both a world-class creative scientist and a compassionate therapist." (Mary Pipher, PhD, author of Reviving Ophelia)
How does trauma affect a child's mind—and how can that mind recover? In the classic The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, Dr. Perry explains what happens to the brains of children exposed to extreme stress and shares their lessons of courage, humanity, and hope. Only when we understand the science of the mind and the power of love and nurturing can we hope to heal the spirit of even the most wounded child.

Valuable reading for teachers, clinicians, parents, caregivers ..
Well written book that covers data and balances the knowledge with real cases. The need for systemic change and how to do this is also inspiring and needed. Beware: After reading this action is required.

Everyone should read/listen to this
Narrater was excellent. A fascinating collection of cases that gave a great cross section of situations and the thoughtful diagnosis and discoverys for helping the children recover. Very sad but the outcomes uplifting.

Fascinating insight
I work in child protection and am familiar with working with traumatised young people and families. The book was a great insight into how the brain develops in a child when he or she experiences trauma. Really hit home the need to identify and address the neglect and abuse of children before they reach 3-4 years. Thank you for your work in this area.

Compelling, tragic, important reading
This book and the research surrounding it has built current day trauma informed practice in education and psychology. The anecdotes bring to life the consequences of trauma on the developing brain. I found this much more compelling to listen to than "The body keeps score," which is a similar theme with the same neurophysiology underpinning the research. It was also a hard listen, because the neglect that some of these children experienced at the hands of adults who should have known better was extraordinary.
I am grateful for this research because I am an educator working with a traumatised community. It has helped me understand my students and their families.

Revolutionary in the field
One of the first examples of trauma-informed and attachment-based care and therapy when it first came out. The author does not flinch away from his past mistakes while he was a new therapist and this let's us learn from his mistakes so we don't make the same. So many professionals I know from work (as a relationship therapist, mental health caseworker, child protection consultant, etc) don't know and don't follow these foundational principles.
This is a must for professionals in the field of therapy and child protection. I think it should be a mandatory reading in university degrees.
