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

" A book that every anthropology, sociology, gender studies, political scientist, and the list goes on . . . should add to their collection! A favorite of mine. So thought provoking and full of solutions to how people can make the world a safer more equitable place. "

" This book changed my life and perhaps saved it. It is a fascinating, incredibly helpful and compelling work. It reaffirms the resilience of people and the power to heal after the worst circumstances. "

" I read this book right after I came back from a month long program on the Holocaust as I was taking a semester long course on the Vietnam war. It was one of the single most helpful tools I came to have when processing what I experienced from survivors and even their children and grand children, and Vietnam Vets who spoke to our class, as well as a much broader context of post trauma - and has been one of the most helpful resources for me in working with people in ministry! "

" Not only on a personal level did I relate to this book, it helped me realize what kind of career I wanted to have. Given the tragic subject matter it also holds that healing from trauma is possible and we are not defined by what happens to us. "

" So good. Made me think, cry, have nightmares... Don't read before bed, but read this book!! "

" This book is, by this point in its history, a work of academic medicine; its scholarly apparatus is in any case impeccable. It is also wise, compassionate and humane. Very highly recommended. "

" This book is very informative on what trauma does to a person and what is needed to help a traumatized person recover. "

" Explains so well that being a prisoner of war is the same as a prisoner of domestic violence or incest victim. "

" this book is amazing. it is the first clinical book on violence that i've read in years that holds me to every sentence on every page. there's no flipping past stuff that's been said a gazillion times. she brings a fresh and deep perspective on coercion and abuse. "

" An must-read for anyone interested in trauma work. Lots of information to think about that can really make a difference, especially when applying it clinically. I also love the feminist vibe of it as well... "

" THE most essential book to read if you have an interest in or work with anyone that's been traumatized. "

" Outstanding book on exactly what the title says: trauma and recovery. If you work with anyone who has suffered trauma, I recommend this book! "

" This is a great book about the stages of trauma recovery. Very useful. "

" Amazing book about trauma and the recovery process. Great insight on the healing process to such traumatic events and dealing with PTSD. A must read if you are interested in trauma. "

" I am still working on this book. Its an intense and eye opening book. "

" Good examples and insight but sometimes wordy and hard to follow. Clearly the author has plenty of practical experience but the book left something to be desired. "

" I read this book for my class, Women's Narratives of Healing. It's very interesting. We used it to discuss the traumatic situations we read of and discussed. "
