Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence-—From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror

<div><b>A revised and updated edition of the groundbreaking work that changed the way we think about and treat traumatic events and trauma victims.<br /></b><br /></div><div>When <i>Trauma and Recovery</i> was first published in 1992, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work. In the intervening years, it has become the basic text for understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma can be understood only in a social context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as on a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. A new epilogue reviews what has changed--and what has not changed--over two decades. <i>Trauma and Recovery</i> is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.</div>
