Incredibly informative, not much use of academic jargon which helps the lay reader. I feel as though every person who either has or who has worked with trauma in their lives needs to read this book. It expertly highlights how trauma is the biggest issue facing social care throughout Western society and provides several insights into research and treatment options.
