Dr. van der Kolk's masterpiece combines the boundless curiosity of the scientist, the erudition of the scholar, and the passion of the truth teller (Judith Herman, M.D., author of Trauma and Recovery)
A seminal book that outlines the author's pioneering work
Draws on 30 years of experience to argue powerfully that trauma is one of the West's most urgent public health issues... Packed with science and human stories ... van der Kolk has a lot to say, and the struggle and resilience of his patients is very moving
A gripping bestseller about where trauma goes, and its disastrous effects on both individuals and societies. Deeply interesting.
A masterpiece of powerful understanding and brave heartedness, one of the most intelligent and helpful works on trauma I have ever read. . . a brilliant synthesis of clinical cases, neuroscience, powerful tools and caring humanity, offering a whole new level of healing (Jack Kornfied, author of A Path With Heart)
Incredible (William Leith, 'Books of the Year')

A good read. If you have physical ailments with no explainable reasons, might help you think of why the body is behaving the way it is.
And if you are a trauma survivor, then this does help explain a lot of things.
Definitely recommended!
