About this listen
A renowned psychiatrist reveals how trauma affects children—and outlines the path to recovery.
"Fascinating and upbeat.... Dr. Perry is both a world-class creative scientist and a compassionate therapist." (Mary Pipher, PhD, author of Reviving Ophelia)
How does trauma affect a child's mind—and how can that mind recover? 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. Only when we understand the science of the mind and the power of love and nurturing can we hope to heal the spirit of even the most wounded child.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent view into trauma and hope
When we talk about trauma we often forget to talk about amazing stories of recovery. As terrible as trauma is this book shows that healing and help are possible.
This is a must read for all teachers, counsellors, nurses and doctors.

Well worth the listen
This book was an eye opener. The stories may be confronting for some, but the authors have written it well with the intent to dissect the information from it and relay it in a very engaging and insightful way to their readers/listeners.
This will be one I will be listening to again and again.
Thank you for your work!

Don't let the title put you off! Read this book
Three people recommended this book to me -- a foster care trainer, my psychologist, and a client of mine.
At first, I avoided the book, 'The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog' concerned it may be more upsetting than valuable.
I'm so glad I read it.
This book changed the way I understand children I look after.
This book changed how I can respond to their needs.
This book changed the way I understand myself.
This book changed my level of compassion for people.
This book changed how I advocate, spend, time, vote, think, communicate....
Please read this book.

Valuable reading for teachers, clinicians, parents, caregivers ..
Well written book that covers data and balances the knowledge with real cases. The need for systemic change and how to do this is also inspiring and needed. Beware: After reading this action is required.
