Average Rating: 
Rating: - Brilliant and heartening
Assisted by a talented science writer, child psychiatrist Bruce Perry presents a series of heartbreaking stories of children severely damaged by trauma. But that's only one side of this remarkable book. The other side is how many of these profoundly damaged children were assisted to heal.

Rating: - A must read
I read this book in a day. For anyone involved in the social services, or even just interested in psychology--it is a must read that truly touches your heart and makes you appreciate the power of children even more.

Rating: - Every parent should read this book
Anyone working with traumatized and abused children will gain insight and knowledge in parenting in a positive way. Dr Bruce Perry is a pioneer in the child psychiatry field of the link between early childhood nurturing (or lack of) experiences and brain development. As a foster parent I found this book extremely informative and helpful, and would recommend it to all who care for children.
