The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog

Bruce D. Perry (author) , Maia Szalavitz (author)

In the classic The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, Dr. Perry tells their stories of trauma and transformation and shares their lessons of courage, humanity, and hope. Deftly combining unforgettable case histories with his own compassionate, insightful strategies for rehabilitation, Perry explains what happens to children's brain when they are exposed to extreme stress-and reveals the unexpected measures that can be taken to ease such pain and help them grow into healthy adults.

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.
