The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook: What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love, and Healing

By Bruce D. Perry, Maia Szalavitz

Why this book?

Despite its sobering title, this book is both uplifting and inspiring. Bruce Perry has worked with traumatized children for most of his professional career, and has trained hundreds of therapists and other professionals. These stories are both fascinating and hopeful, and provide a template for helping children who have been wounded by life and by those they trusted-and unfortunately, there are many such children in this world. Whether you're a parent, a professional, or simply someone who wants to understand what happens to us along the road of life, this book is a valuable read.

When you buy a book we may earn a small commission.

This is my 12th international school. (I’m pretty old!)

For the last 20 years I’ve flip-flopped between homeroom and curriculum leadership roles. I love zooming in to focus on the students in my class, but also love zooming out to see the bigger picture of the collective learning journeys as children travel through the school.

I am a mountain girl. I do best in sub-zero temperatures!

Goal: Gain skills, knowledge and understandings  around how to support homeroom teachers.
