What happens when a young child experiences emotional trauma? How does terrorizing fear affect a child's brain? Is the brain capable of recovering from it? Child psychiatrist Bruce Perry has treated children who have faced unspeakable horrors: surviving genocide, witnessing the murder of their parents, growing up in a cage, a closet, or in extreme religious sects, and victims of domestic violence. In his book, The Boy Who Was Raised Like a Dog, he tells the stories of such children about trauma and the recovery process. Dr. Perry explains very vividly what happens in the brain when a child is faced with an extreme stressful situation. He describes his methods for relieving this pain in order to help the child grow into a spiritually healthy adult.
