robinks's review against another edition

challenging hopeful informative slow-paced

4.75

For a book that was written a while ago, so much information in here is still relevant. The afterword had some good updates, and I think it could benefit from incorporating more inclusive research in a future revision. Also get Bessel van der Kolk out of here.
