Reviews"Fascinating and upbeat...Dr. Perry is both a world-class creative scientist and a compassionate therapist."-- Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and Letters to a Young Therapist, "Readable, informative about the workings of language, memory, trust, and choice, and ultimately optimistic--while critical of a society that exudes violence and ignores prevention--this book demands and deserves attention from parents, educators, policymakers, courts, and therapists. Highly recommended."-- Library Journal (starred review), "I have never encountered a child advocate with a better mind, a bigger heart, or a more generous spirit than Bruce Perry. This book captures the essence of his insights and the heroism of his actions on behalf of children who have encountered the dark side of human experience."-- James Garbarino, Ph.D., author of Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent and How We Can Save Them, " The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog is Bruce Perry's finest achievement... It gives us the opportunity to unlock the deepest mystery of our species: why some children turn out to be heroes and others to be predatory sociopaths. Anyone who wants to understand childhood trauma and its heartbreaking consequences must read this book."-- Andrew Vachss, best-selling author of Mask Market, founder of PROTECT: The National Association to Protect Children, "In this harrowing but profoundly humane book, Perry and Szalavitz provide an all too timely, utterly engrossing account of traumatized children's lives... Once I opened it, I could not put it down."-- Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, author of Mother Nature: Maternal Instincts and How They Shape the Human Species, "Perry has learned a thing or two about how not to raise a prospective sociopath. Here he shares the stories of several children he has encountered in his decades as a child psychiatrist and expert on childhood trauma . . . . He makes a powerful case for early intervention for disruptive children to prevent adult sociopathy."-- Booklist, "In beautifully written, fascinating accounts of experiences working with emotionally stunted and traumatized children, child psychiatrist Perry educates readers about how early-life stress and violence affects the developing brain. He offers simple yet vivid illustrations of the stress response and the brain's mechanisms with facts and images that crystallize in the mind without being too detailed or confusing."-- Publishers Weekly, "For many years, Bruce Perry's work has been deserving of our highest praise. This book is his crowning achievement, the ultimate combination of science and humanity."-- Joel A. Dvoskin, PhD, University of Arizona College of Medecine, former president, American Psychology-Law Societ, "Filled with compassionate, caring stories by a wise healer and scientist, this book will appeal to all who are interested in understanding how children heal."-- Lynn Ponton, M.D., author of The Romance of Risk, "Beautifully written, fascinating accounts...The stories exhibit compassion, understanding and hope as Perry paints detailed, humane pictures of [the] patients."-- Publishers Weekly, "I have admired and respected Bruce Perry for over a decade. His commitment to helping young children raised in chaotic and abusive environments is nothing short of remarkable. This book is an important tool in helping us understand the critical impact of early experiences in children's lives, and it shows us how to help those who have been damaged by neglect. Anyone who deals with vulnerable or troubled youth--from social workers to judges, daycare workers to high school teachers, parents to politicians--can gain important perspectives from this book."-- Rob Reiner
