I recommend this book to everyone. It deals with very dark themes and tragic stories, but it’s absolutely fascinating to see how psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk worked with patients. The book explores a wide variety of therapies in detail — from traditional approaches to more innovative techniques — and shows how each can help people process trauma. The case studies are both moving and eye-opening, and the results described are often outstanding.
It’s not always an easy read, but it’s an important and powerful one.
