Description
Child psychiatrist Bruce D. Perry explores the profound impact of trauma on a child's mind, revealing the brain's remarkable capacity for healing. Through case histories and his own compassionate strategies for rehabilitation, Perry explains how extreme stress affects the developing brain and how simple things like surroundings, affection, language, and touch can deeply impact its development.
By examining the stories of children who recover from unimaginable trauma, Perry demonstrates that understanding the science of the mind is crucial to healing the spirit of even the most wounded child. This deeply informed and moving book offers a powerful insight into the human experience and the potential for recovery and growth.
