Alice Miller (1923-2010) psychologist and researcher, became world famous for her books about child abuse and its consequences. Her work contributed greatly to the advancement of children's rights. But how was it like to grow up as her son? And why did she keep parts of her history a secret? 'You cannot understand life or people unless you understand childhood,' Alice Miller said. Her first book, 'The Drama of the Gifted Child' (1979), became an international best-seller. In it she describes how children must adapt to the needs of adults and endure parents' conscious or unconscious projection of their own experiences onto their offspring. Many people felt that she verbalized their own childhood for the first time. In 1986 NRK journalist Anne Elisabeth Andersen made a unique interview with Alice Miller for NRK., which was screened under the title For your own good. . She also visited Miller several times in her home in Provence
