Review: Essential, powerful and definitive - I bought this as part of a huge desertcart haul of books on trauma, abuse and PTSD but this volume, Herman's Trauma and Recovery, was far and away the most powerful, the most affecting and the deepest. Herman goes into the root causes, symptoms and sensations of trauma but she also has a brilliantly wide, sensitive frama of reference: she looks at how a traumatised person fits (or doesn't fit, or struggles to fit) into the wider familial, social, political and cultural world. She goes into victim-blaming, perpetrator impunity, silencing and shame. But she also pays amazing tribute to the power of survivors and the body, mind and soul's ability to heal themselves. If you haven't been directly affected by the issues she covers, this will be a rich, informative read, extremely interesting and fascinating as a cultural history. If you are a survivor it'll become a bible.
Review: Know your mind and body - This is a good book to learn about yourself and to build up your confidence knowledge and understanding of what you can achieve
