Trauma And Recovery : The Aftermath Of Violence - From Domestic Abuse To Political Terror
Paperback Edition: 1r
This revised edition includes a new epilogue by the author assessing what has--and hasn't--changed in understanding and treating trauma over the last three decades.
Trauma and Recovery is the foundational text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a political frame, psychiatrist Judith L. 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.
