In 1987, Charlie Whitfield's breakthrough concept of the child within—that part of us which is truly alive, energetic, creative and fulfilled—launched the inner child movement. Healing the Child Within describes how the inner child is lost to trauma and loss, and how by recovering it, we can heal the fear, confusion and unhappiness of adult life. Eighteen years and more than a million copies sold later, Healing the Child Within is a perennial selling classic in the field of psychology. And it is even more timely today than it was in 1987. Recent brain research, particularly on the effects of trauma on the brain of developing children, has supported Whitfield's intuitive understanding as a psychiatrist.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If you really want to uncover some thruths about yourself,I suggest you read this book. I often felt isolated and "different", not knowing why. Just reading through this book uncovered and healed much of my pain that I denied having for so long. This book has been a gift to me, helping me to understand myself and others much more, which is what I always really wanted. I felt so stuck, and this book along with a few other materials was a real lifechanger. It put into words what I didn't want to know, only to free me of the shame through acknowledgement. ... Read More Rating:  - Healing The Child WithinThe book was easy to read and understand. I found it very thought provoking and partly useful in dealing with some long standing issues from my childhood. I felt the author could have provided more help to me rather than trying to get me to see a "professional" in the field. All though that may be necessary at some point I will look for other books that provide more direction to me to help myself. Rating: - Relived the pain & learned to surviveI was told to read this book while attending a beginning actors class at UCLA. At first this seemed odd, but after reading the book I started to finally take my life more seriously. I learned that from now on if I want to be strong and happy I have to take steps to heal. I do come from a family of abuse and denial about the abuse. My dad and my brother abused me. My mom was verbally abusive but still very sheltering and protective of me from a very early age. My mom left my dad the day she ... Read More Rating: - Very HelpfulThis book, consisting of 15 chapters and roughly 145 pages, is easy to read and well written, but difficult to get through. It was not difficult in a sense of reading it, but it was difficult in an emotional sense. This book has given me great insights and shocks to which it gave me a harsh glimpse into my past. It gave me a lot to absorb. The strategies, the tables, the stories, and the recommendations in this book are very helpful and encouraging for utilization in one's life. For ...
