The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk

Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.
On page 13 the author defends a r*pist. In the 13 pages I read, I did not see any critical thinking about the source of trauma, solutions to trauma, or the traumatization of society as we know it. The lack of depth and critical thinking from the author, along with the blatant disrespect for survivors of violence, has prevented me from reading this book any further. I do not recommend this book at all.
