Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror by Judith Lewis Herman
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.
