The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook by Bruce D. Perry
4.0
This book took me as long as it did because it wasn’t the main book that I read so the reading wasn’t very consistent. I would read 3 chapters then wait 2 months before I read more of it. I still read in that time just not this book.
As a child who spent the first few months of my life in a neglected household with very little understanding of what happened in my early life this book made me understand why I act or acted the way I did and what helped and why. It also made me realize why some of my friends or family or just people I know act the way they do. This book opened my eyes and made me understand what causes people, especially children and teens, to act the way they do and the best way to fix it.
The stories inside the book not only made a plot in the story they also taught me the outcome of trauma and the ways people handle it.
