About this listen
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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.

Excellent view into trauma and hope
When we talk about trauma we often forget to talk about amazing stories of recovery. As terrible as trauma is this book shows that healing and help are possible.
This is a must read for all teachers, counsellors, nurses and doctors.

Well worth the listen
This book was an eye opener. The stories may be confronting for some, but the authors have written it well with the intent to dissect the information from it and relay it in a very engaging and insightful way to their readers/listeners.
This will be one I will be listening to again and again.
Thank you for your work!

Don't let the title put you off! Read this book
Three people recommended this book to me -- a foster care trainer, my psychologist, and a client of mine.
At first, I avoided the book, 'The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog' concerned it may be more upsetting than valuable.
I'm so glad I read it.
This book changed the way I understand children I look after.
This book changed how I can respond to their needs.
This book changed the way I understand myself.
This book changed my level of compassion for people.
This book changed how I advocate, spend, time, vote, think, communicate....
Please read this book.
