Publisher's Summary
The groundbreaking work on trauma that remains a “classic for our generation” (Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score)
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.
Hailed by the New York Times as “one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud,” Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how we heal.

Intellectual, informative, and critical.
Not a simple read. Sometimes uncomfortable, irreverent, and confronting. However, as I progressed, I felt greater clarity and healing.
A must-read for professionals. The author's views may not align with everyone's opinions, but professionals will unanimously agree that the book is a must-read.

A very insightful and well presented book
This book details the history of psychoanalysis, providing the listener with an important foundation of knowledge, before outlining the stages of recovery from trauma.
If more people were educated on what trauma is and the ways in which it can impact the human brain and subsequently, human behaviour, there would be less judgement on ourselves and on each other.

Understandable, essential reading on trauma
I have read many many books on the topic but for a go to book this is it.. covers a lot. Sounds like the 90s? They really did write superior books on psych back then and even earlier
