A trailblazing scientist revolutionizes our comprehension of trauma and presents a daring new theory for recovery.
In life, trauma is inevitable. In addition to one in five Americans having experienced molestation, one in four growing up with an alcoholic parent, and one in three couples having physically abused each other, veterans and their families also cope with the traumatic legacy of war. One of the top trauma specialists in the world, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, has worked with survivors for more than thirty years. In The Body Keeps the Score, he employs new scientific findings to demonstrate how trauma actually alters the structure of the body and the brain, impairing the pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust of those who experience it. He investigates cutting-edge therapies that open up new avenues for healing by triggering the brain's innate neuroplasticity, such as neurofeedback, yoga, theater, and sports. The Body Keeps the Score reveals the amazing capacity of our connections to both damage and heal, and it provides fresh hope for recovering lives. It is based on the study of renowned experts as well as that of Dr. van der Kolk.
