The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk Md
#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.Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., is the founder and medical director of the Brookline, Massachusetts-based Trauma Center. He is also the director of the National Complex Trauma Treatment Network and a professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. van der Kolk works and lives in Boston when he is not teaching around the world.
