Trauma and recovery : the aftermath of violence -- from domestic abuse to political terror  Cover Image Book Book

Trauma and recovery : the aftermath of violence -- from domestic abuse to political terror / Judith L. Herman.

Summary:

"Trauma and Recovery is the foundational text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a political frame, psychiatrist Judith L. Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as 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. This edition includes a new epilogue by the author assessing what has -- and hasn't -- changed in understanding and treating trauma over the last three decades."-- Provided by publisher.
