Review: The Drama of the Gifted Child - The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self This book was recommended to me by my therapist of 6 years. It is a fascinating and truly enlighting read if you want to learn and understand how you came to be the person you are now. This book reads as if had been written just for me - it's my story and you may think, possibly yours too. It explains how from the very second of being born, we are influenced by our first experiences, good ones resulting in a pretty rounded, confident and happy people; bad experiences as in my case, result in so many life problems, for example, mental health disorders (you are often mis-labelled as in my own case, i am listed by my psychiatrist as having rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, chronic depression, anxiety states, borderline personality disorder and atypical anorexia). In actual fact, when you are dedicated to sticking out sometimes very painful therapy, you actually find that these labels are wrong. You are who you are because of your very earliest influences and experiences. I couldn't put this book down - it was like looking in a mirror and seeing myself. It will have you smiling and crying all on the same page! It is the most amazing book i have ever read and has helped me understand so much better why i am who i am and then using that knowledge with your therapist, you can get your life back, you can be 'normal', it's ok to be angry, sad, jealous, happy, even ecstatic - these are all normal emotions which have been stunted in your early years by either abuse or neglect of any sort. Reading this book has given me back my life. I have turned from being a shy, very introverted, unhappy, frightened woman with extremely low self-esteem, to now, being confident, happy, and that's really ok, i value my needs and refuse to get into abusive situations. I don't think i could ever bear to part with this book, although i know people that have been involved in my mental health care would be interested to read it, but i'm afraid they'll have to purchase this book for themselves 'cos i'm not letting go of my precious copy! Extremely highly recommended. Happy reading! Review: Insightful - Amazing book. Everyone should read this! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 20,978 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 39 in Raising Teenagers 40 in Child Development 40 in Adolescent Counselling | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,937) | | Dimensions | 13.34 x 1.27 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | 3rd ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0465016901 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0465016907 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | 22 July 2008 | | Publisher | Basic Books | ## Images ![Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self, Revised Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zesofD4tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Drama of the Gifted Child *by E***. on 5 January 2011* The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self This book was recommended to me by my therapist of 6 years.
