Un po' diverso dalle aspettative per quanto riguarda la struttura e il contenuto. Ma un libro veramente interessante e facile da leggere. Avrei solo usato una carta più spessa, ma questa è una preferenza personale

Esaustivo, spiega bene i progressi della psicologia clinica

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 19 ottobre 2021

Utile per capire le cause fisiologiche dei traumi e l'evoluzione delle psicoterapie nel tempo. Consigliato per chi vuole comprendere il motivo dietro reazioni traumatiche (fight, flight, faint, ecc) e vuole conoscere i vari tipi di approccio al PTSD o al PTSD complesso.
Sconsigliato per chi è sensibile perché contiene descrizioni eventi davvero traumatici.

Inspiring!

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 8 ottobre 2021

This book describes one person's thorough investigation into the tragedy of trauma, with honesty and integrity...leading to a conclusion that by admitting the truth we know exists, that people continue to hurt, there is the capacity to change. If we make that choice.
A book full of pain but hope.

un classico

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 22 gennaio 2021

Non si può oggi parlare di trauma senza aver letto questo ampio volume. Appassionante negli excursus di storia della scienza e della terapia, con tanti casi reali con il quale l'autore è venuto a contatto, ricco di spunti terapeutici. Apprezzato l'impegno per arrivare ad una nuova e più aggiornata diagnosi di trauma complesso e non solo PTSD.

il libro è estremamente chiaro anche per un madre lingua italiano (la traduzione del titolo in italiano non mi convinceva per cui ho deciso di prenderlo in lingua originale). l'autore rimane uno dei massimi esponenti delle riflessioni sul trauma e le indicazioni e riferimenti biliorafici sono talmente ricchi da permettere di trovare tutto ciò che può interessare chiarire.

Il libro per eccellenza sul Trauma. Sulla sua complessità, sulla sua difficoltà nel venire trattato da molti, troppi, psicoterapeuti e psichiatri. Sia per persone interessate al tema, sia per person che vogliono guarire.

Transformative

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 5 settembre 2018

This is the greatest book I have ever read.
It is a lifetime of knowledge (and it is clear that it had taken a very long time to write) from a practising clinician who, as far as I can tell, is THE most well-informed person on the subject, all in one book.
It can be applied to you. Therapy like this would cost thousands, and that is even if you have the good fortune to find a therapist who knows anything about it.
It is perfectly written and laid out, starting with explanations about the problem and ending with explanations of how to recover.
At first it was hard to read because I was only just coming to terms with having childhood trauma, and was still feeling very upset about it. However the great thing about a book is that you can take as long as you like to finish it. As I read more I understood more and more and began to feel more and more free, understood, and positive. There is SO MUCH information in here, and it is all extremely useful and interesting. I often read one sentence several times because it made such an impact on me, and after some pages (most of them!) I would think for ten minutes until I read more.
This is the most helpful book I have read on the subject, and I have read a lot. It has taken me a long time to read, but recovery takes a long time. I think that if you have not been traumatised and are just reading it for interest that you would read it quickly, as it is such a great book. I feel like it has transformed me.

brilliant

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 8 marzo 2019

What fascinates me about trauma is what it does to you. It helps you survive whatever has tried to hurt you. It’s a survival instinct.

When you experience trauma your brain protects you, it literally creates a new personality on top of the one you were born with and transforms you. It increases your senses, it makes you more intelligent, but it changes your brain chemistry and that's the big problem. If your chemistry changes then you're not going to benefit in normal everyday situations because your flight, fight and freeze part of your brain is now on over drive, your hypothalamus is now stuck in hyper drive and your prefrontal cortex becomes neglected and undeveloped and in a contradicting to making you more intelligent now makes you less able to learn by constantly injecting stress hormones into your blood stream.

A lot is crammed into this book, over 30 years of research into trauma and I agree with the author, trauma is so important and so relevant in our society. Most people experience some form of trauma throughout their lives, but it seems the younger and more undeveloped you are the more profound the effect is later on in life. It literally passes down from generation to generation and we still don't discuss or treat trauma as a norm. If everyone was more knowledgeable about trauma and how it affects us then I think our medical advice and how we treat people would be far different from what it is today.
I find it easy to notice when someone has experienced trauma. It affects their persona, but there are visual and acoustic clues as well. It helps to know if someone has trauma because you have to adapt to their reasoning and thinking which can often be off kilter.

This book is brilliant for psychologists and people who want to learn more about themselves and trauma. It has a diverse knowledge or different applications which are proven to work. Obviously CBT is the most common, but two more I find very interesting and fascinating for trauma treatment is EMDR and Yoga. Both I think are brilliant and I was aware of before the book, but this book shows just what impact it has on masses.

I genuinely feel like when it comes to psychology and nutritional sciences, the USA is years ahead of everyone else especially the UK. I really hope a lot of this work makes it over here sooner rather than later.

Knowing more about trauma means we can help heal our society, prevent abuse and even enrich ourselves.

Be forewarned. Discussion of lab cruelty to animals.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 3 dicembre 2018

Probably an excellent book but he talks about the research done on defenseless dogs trapped in a cage that are repeatedly shocked. I am a dog/animal lover and this is such an atrocity. When will this cruelty stop? 😢

2 Stars only for tiny font size: unreadable!

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 27 novembre 2019

If I had not written my name in this book before trying to read it, I would have returned it.

The text is TINY and so I struggled to read it.

I have now ordered a hardback copy from elsewhere in the hope that I will be able to read it more comfortably.

If you are familiar with text sizes, it's looking about size 8 which is way below accessibility requirements today. These are either 11 or 12 on the basic fonts such as Times New Roman, which is what this seems to be.

The photo of the book cover probably illustrates the font size best: the line of text below the italics, beneath the graphic, in block capitals is similar in size to the text within the whole book.

Excluding the Index, the book comprises 421 pages; and I wonder if the reduced font was in order to reduce the number of pages...?

It's a shame, this book has been recommended to me by my counsellor; so I am rather disappointed and shocked, it has to be said, by my inability to see the text comfortably enough to read it.

If you are a sexual assault survivor, skip this book

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 13 giugno 2021

At no point was I prepared to open this book and amongst the first pages be slapped with a sob story about a Vietnam vet who admitted to murdering children and raping a young girl in retaliation for losing fellow soldiers on the crap show battlefield that was Vietnam. This ruined the entire book for me, and I have been made aware that there are better books out there for people who actually have PTSD and anxiety, and do not sympathize with a murdering rapist.

And side note: at no point in history or future will the murder and rape of innocents be justifiable, even in foolish wars.
