I read it, and remember thinking it was very melodramatic. It seemed like the whole point it was trying to make was you should take infants needs seriously, and believe that having those needs thwarted was traumatizing. I can see how reading it as a parent would be pretty traumatizing itself!

Maybe it was groundbreaking in its time, before people had come to accept the notion that childhood trauma has lasting effects. Now I think most people start with that belief, so the original work isn't in the right context any more.
