The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma
von Bessel van der Kolk
Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times Science bestseller Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

Rezension von NadineThis book doesn’t target people who experienced trauma themselves but probably therapists. I read it suffering from PTSD myself and did not find much help in it for myself. I believe for some it can even be triggering. It does definitely show the evolution of trauma therapy and which approaches can be helpful but it is not a self help book. What I learned with PTSD is that the symptoms won’t go away without external help, so therapy is necessary anyways. During and now after therapy I still like to look for some further help in books to get to know myself but I did not find that in this book, even though what was calming was to see how trauma manifests in one’s brain activity, so it is not just done by accepting the trauma.
Rezension von Kristin KnillmannAn absolute game changer of a book.
Rezension von lea 🦇4,5⭐️ I am both amazed and overwhelmed by the amount of psychological knowledge this book conveys. Only read, if you’re really interested in psychology.
