Traumatic Stress
The Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society
The Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society
Edited by Bessel A. van der Kolk, Alexander C. McFarlane, and Lars Weisaeth
"A valuable text on trauma and its treatment. I use the book in the courses Clinical Practice I and II. It is very informative in that it provides many perspectives regarding the possible long-term effects of trauma on children and adults. In addition, the authors' styles make the book highly accessible and useful for clinicians at all levels of practice."
-Karen Kaufman, PhD, LCSW, Adjunct Faculty Member, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service
"It is impossible to capture the richness, breadth of perspective, and sheer clinical wisdom that van der Kolk and his colleagues bring to this volume."
-Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
"Should be required for all of us who work with trauma victims. It is a scholarly synthesis of research advances combined with humanitarian sensitivity and clinical pragmatism."
-General Hospital Psychiatry
"Like a small number of classic volumes in the field of traumatic stress...this book is remarkable for including not only [the] scientific and medical viewpoint, but also the sociopolitical context in which trauma, its study, and its treatment occur....An invaluable contribution to the field of traumatic stress studies, and psychology in general. We highly recommend this book to researchers, clinicians, students, and all of those committed to understanding and taking responsibility for the effects of trauma on the individual and society."
-Contemporary Psychology
"This is a book of great scope and lucid intelligence that integrates the work of many pioneers."
