The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self

Written by an experienced therapist, this book talks about how childhood's traumas can affect our adult life and how those children have developed a false sense of self. Even if it's a short book, it has been a tough read because it forced me to face my own past.

The book was first published in 1981, thus you'll find some generalization but, especially if you grew up in a toxic environment, you'll find some help between these pages.
