Synopsis
#1 New York Times bestseller "Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society." --Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score , he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments--from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga--that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal--and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

      Brilliant treatise on trauma yet enlightening, enjoyable read

      Very good read. In this book, author Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. contends that many psychiatric patients are misdiagnosed, largely because those who determine the content of the DSM have chosen not to include a Developmental Trauma Disorder diagnosis. Without the clinician's option to diagnose Developmental Trauma Disorder, patients may be misdiagnosed as having ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and many other anxiety-related labels, he says. He explains that a more accurate diagnosis could lead to more practical treatment. Citing numerous research studies, van der Kolk establishes a connection between mind and body and relates said connection to trauma at various stages of life -- from childhood abuse and neglect to war-related PTSD. Part of the joy of the read is ...

      Understanding the Effects of Trauma

      This book had fascinating illustrations of how trauma affects a person not only psychologically, but physically. It makes you understand why some people are the way they are---anti-social personalities, people with anger management issues, etc. It also gives some compelling evidence of unconventional therapy techniques that have shown great promise but discusses how our society seems to prefer lifelong treatment of a problem with drugs rather than treating the underlying cause and freeing a person from the burden of trauma that they carry with them throughout their lives. The author is a psychiatrist who specializes in treating trauma patients from early childhood through adulthood. Fascinating!

      A must for people dealing with PTSD.

      I have PTSD and have been in therapy for 16 years. This book is a must read for sufferers and help providers alike. It is written by an extremely well qualified research scientist with many years of treating and research. The case studies are very interesting. He provides information from the medical and clinical viewpoint. The information on treatments and medications are very interesting. As a patient I find the history of treatment and discoveries of great interest as I have seen the developments from the patient side.

      This is a really great book that explains how trauma damages people.

      This is a really great book that explains how trauma damages people. The brain doesn't heal from trauma unless it's "taught" to (this isn't in the book, it's my own opinion after 25 years of being a therapist." This is a great book that's eye opening and healing for many who have experienced any form of trauma. Some reactions are trauma based and some are psychiatric. There is a difference.
