Description: About this productProduct InformationA revised and updated edition of the groundbreaking work that changed the way we think about and treat traumatic events and trauma victims. "A stunning achievement ... a classic for our generation." --Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score When Trauma and Recovery was first published in 1992, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work. In the intervening years, it has become the basic text for understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma can be understood only in a social context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as on 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. A new epilogue reviews what has changed--and what has not changed--over two decades. Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.Product IdentifiersPublisherBasic BooksISBN-100465061710ISBN-139780465061716eBay Product ID (ePID)208661897Product Key FeaturesBook TitleTrauma and Recovery : the Aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political TerrorAuthorJudith Lewis HermanFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishTopicAbuse, Psychiatry / Child & Adolescent, Psychopathology / Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (Ptsd)Publication Year2015GenreSelf-Help, Psychology, MedicalNumber of Pages336 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.2in.Item Height1.1in.Item Width5.5in.Item Weight10.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesReviews"This book will surely become a landmark work on the social impact of psychological trauma and on its treatments....
