Description
Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror This groundbreaking work on trauma remains a seminal text in understanding trauma survivors. Psychiatrist Judith L. Herman argues that psychological trauma is deeply intertwined with its social and political context. By examining the parallels between private and public horrors, such as child abuse and war, Herman sheds light on the complex nature of trauma. Drawing on her research and a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, Herman shows how psychological trauma is shaped by its social and political environment. This edition includes a new epilogue by the author, assessing the progress made in understanding and treating trauma over the last three decades. Hailed as a significant contribution to the field of psychiatry, Trauma and Recovery is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the healing process.
