In the classic The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, Dr. Perry explains what happens to the brains of children exposed to extreme stress and shares their lessons of courage, humanity, and hope.

“Great book with broad appeal for parents, teachers, counselors and those with loved ones who have faced childhood trauma. The only weakness, I thought, was a lack of solid steps parents, counselors, and others could take to help those who have suffered. There were recommendations, but I found these to be vague. Nevertheless this book was certainly engaging and worthwhile. I particularly enjoyed how this book reenforced what I learned in lifespan development, and the biological understanding I gained regarding the workings of the developing brain.”
