The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook by Bruce D. Perry

dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.0

This covers anecdotes from a child psychologist and their extreme cases. Not a comfortable book by any means but does provide some very interesting insight on child development. I technically didn't finish it due to my library loan expiring but I believe I got what I wanted for the content. An interesting read for sure, I caution those who are more sensitive before taking on the book. I tagged what I could recall as moderate since any abuse and discovery is called what it is but is not described in depth, glorified, or romanticized (as is appropriate).
