whittenholmes's review

It's a very dense read, not inaccessible, but with very heavy themes discussed openly throughout. I'd like to get a paper copy so I could examine the treatments section and skim over any triggering content.

This book is very important to trauma therapy and can be used by those seeking treatment but with caution, as much of the medical and psychiatric research detailed is illustrated with graphic descriptions of trauma.
