Description

A revised and up to date edition of the groundbreaking work that changed the way we consider and treat traumatic events and trauma sufferers.

“A stunning achievement … a classic for our generation.” –Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., writer of The Body Keeps the Score
When Trauma and Recovery was once first published in 1992, it was once hailed as a groundbreaking work. In the intervening years, it has develop into the basic text for understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma can also be understood only in a social context. Drawing on her own research on incest, in addition to on a vast literature on combat veterans and sufferers 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 very important reading for anyone who seeks to be mindful how we heal and are healed.
