Book Review: An insightful, informative, and yet gentle book
Summary: 5 Stars

Perry and Szalavitz have achieved a rare thing - an informative and academic text that reads like a series of short biographical stories. I read it from cover to cover. The authors enable their readers to access complex theories in a very human way. Reading this will help you to understand the bio-psycho-social links in human development, how they can go wrong and cause damage, and how they can heal. Behind its strange title lies a very intelligent, humane and gentle approach, based on scientific knowledge and real experiences of human relationships. It's a book I want to share!
