In Pictures of a Childhood, Alice Miller explores the connection between childhood and that creative activity which »somehow permits us to give form to the chaos within and thereby master our anxiety.«
Having realized in the early seventies a lifelong desire to paint, Dr. Miller found an unfamiliar world emerging from her paintings: not the »nice« world of her childhood, to which she had always testified, but one of fear, despair and loneliness.
