A stunning achievement that remains a classic for our generation. (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of <i>The Body Keeps the Score</i>).</b> <p/><i>Trauma and Recovery</i> is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. <p/> Hailed by the <i>New York Times</i> as one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud, <i>Trauma and Recovery</i> is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A book of luminous intelligence.
