Description:

"Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and its scope of social impact." In this New York Times bestseller, Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies, a pioneering researcher offers a bold new paradigm for healing and transforms our understanding of trauma. 

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families manage the difficult outcome of battle; Molestation has affected one in five Americans; one of every four grew up with heavy drinkers; Every third couple has experienced physical violence. One of the world's leading experts on trauma, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, has worked with survivors for more than three decades. He uses recent scientific developments in The Body Keeps the Score to demonstrate how trauma literally reshapes both the body and the brain, compromising a person's capacity for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. 

He investigates cutting-edge treatments like neurofeedback, meditation, sports, acting, and yoga that use the brain's inherent neuroplasticity to open up new avenues for recovery. The Body Keeps the Score, which is based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research as well as the research of other leading experts, reveals the tremendous power of our relationships to heal and hurt, as well as new hope for reclaiming lives.
