"Bessel van der Kolk's long history and experience in treating trauma victims is clearly and precisely brought out in this book. Staying clear of deep and complex medical terms, the book guides the reader through a step-by-step logical sequence of how trauma is sustained, manifested, treated, and overcome. This book is a must read for the layman and enthusiast, the patient and the physician, and above all, everyone who wants to know something about trauma and managing post-traumatic stress disorder."
