Trauma Through a Child's Eyes: Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing - Peter Levine & Maggie Kline An essential guide for recognizing, preventing, and healing childhood trauma, from infancy through adolescence--what parents, educators, and health professionals can do. Trauma can result not only from catastrophic events such as abuse, violence, or loss of loved ones, but from natural disasters and everyday incidents such as auto accidents, medical procedures, divorce, or even falling off a bicycle. At the core of this book is the understanding of how trauma is imprinted on the body, brain, and spirit, resulting in anxiety, nightmares, depression, physical illnesses, addictions, hyperactivity, and aggression. Rich with case studies and hands-on activities, Trauma Through A Child's Eyes gives insight into children's innate ability to rebound with the appropriate support, and provides their caregivers with tools to overcome and prevent trauma. |

Trauma-Proofing Your Kids: A Parents' Guide for Instilling Confidence, Joy and Resilience - Peter Levine & Maggie Kline The number of anxious, depressed, hyperactive and withdrawn children is staggering—and still growing! Millions have experienced bullying, violence (real or in the media), abuse or sexual molestation. Many other kids have been traumatized from more “ordinary” ordeals such as terrifying medical procedures, accidents, loss and divorce. Trauma-Proofing Your Kids sends a lifeline to parents who wonder how they can help their worried and troubled children now. It offers simple but powerful tools to keep children safe from danger and to help them “bounce back” after feeling scared and overwhelmed. No longer will kids have to be passive prey to predators or the innocent victims of life’s circumstances. |

Anxiety and Its Disorders, Second Edition: The Nature and Treatment of Anxiety and Panic - David Barlow "Like
its predecessor, this book is truly an impressive accomplishment.
Barlow, a world expert in the etiology and treatment
of anxiety disorders, has integrated cutting-edge theory
and research into a single presentation that is both
wide in scope and precise in focus. While penetrating
in its analysis, the book is also highly readable. Researchers,
clinical practitioners, and students of all levels will
find it an invaluable resource for understanding both
the nature of anxiety as a human experience, and the
way it manifests itself in specific disorders. Certain
to become a classic." --Michael E. Addis, PhD, Department
of Psychology, Clark University.

Psychological Trauma - Bessel A. van der Kolk This
book is about psychological trauma; the trauma itself,
it's consequenses and the effects of traumatic stress
on body function. The book is well written and well organized.
It is interesting to read about the historical development
of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to discover
how different the consequences of trauma can be. The
only drawback is that it's quite old for this area of
psychology, which has developed fast in the last few
years. Therefore, the author doesn't mention new methods
for treating PTSD like EGG-biofeedback and EMDR. But
as mentioned a well written book about an interesting
field of science. |

general characteristics of stress response syndromes,
including signs and symptoms, and elaborates on treatment
techniques that integrate cognitive and dynamic approaches. |

The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment - Babette Rothschild In this
book Babette does a wonderful job of explaining complex
psychobiological processes in easy to understand, digestible
bites. This book provides a solid theoretical framework
for the close relationship between psychobiology, implicit
and explicit memory storage and retrieval, and trauma
processing. Babette's book also thoroughly explains the
importance of "body memories" in trauma processing
and discusses many ways in which to help clients both
elicit and integrate dysfunctionally stored cellular
memories. By providing a concise, understandable and
useful overview of trauma theory, Babette's book serves
to help close the learning gap between theory and application.
In fact, I have recommended that this book be used as
one of the texts for clinical theory classes in the graduate
program where I am privileged to teach. I also believe
this book would be very helpful to trauma clinicians
in general. Accordingly, I will begin recommending this
book at all my presentations(and did so for the first
time recently). No matter the general theoretical foundation
of the clinician (ie: psychoanalytic, CBT, etc.) this
book provides valuable information that informs trauma
practice. In addition, Babette offers many graphics,
charts, case studies, and exercises that could be very
helpful in explaining the "trauma response" and
trauma therapy to clients, families, students, supervisors,
and policy makers. As by now you have no doubt guessed
- I highly recommend this book.Pati Zimmerman,

The Broken Connection: On Death and the Continuity of Life - Robert J. Lifton In
ancient times, mythological systems and religious authorities
told us what to think about death. How do we think about
death in the modern secular world? The pre-eminent psychologist
Robert Jay Lifton thinks that is one of the most important
questions facing us today. This book looks at the question
of death in the big picture. In the first part of the
book, he traces individual development, and shows how
the idea of death develops with the individual. In part
two, he looks at the relationship of death to various
emotions and to psychological disorders. In part three,
he looks at the global picture, discussing what it means
to live in a world with nuclear arms; here he cites from
his extensive personal research with the survivors of
Hiroshima. As Lifton argues, "We must open ourselves
to the full impact of death in order to rediscover and
reinterpret the movement and sequence of life"
(p. 52). Indeed, contrary to what one might expect, this
is a deeply optimistic and profoundly hopeful book.

The Trauma Response: Treatment for Emotional Injury - Diane Sullivan Everstine and Louis Everstine This book offers a new conceptual approach to the problem of post-traumatic stress disorder, in which the response to trauma is seen as a reaction to injury rather than as an illness. Treatment is designed to enhance the natural healing process that begins soon after traumatic shock ends. Several practical features, such as a Trauma Response Protocol and the Everstine Trauma Response Index, are included. |

The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize it and How to Respond - Patricia Evans Are you now, or have
you ever been, in relationships with family, friends,
or mates who have been verbally abusive? Is your happiness
with someone you love continually threatened by interactions
that continually undermine your self-esteem? Do you
feel trapped in a relationship that keeps decaying
in a downward spiral of overt or passive-aggressive
abuse? If so, this book could
be your life raft, either carrying you toward repair
of the existing relationship or the effects of past
relationships or offering liberation from your current
confusion. Its practical approach can help clear your
head and possibly change your life. The only criticism
that I and other readers have is that the author assumes
verbal abuse is almost always directed by males toward
females, which, in my experience and that of others
I know, is not necessarily the case. Highly Recommended. |

Too Scared to Cry: Psychic Trauma in Childhood - Lenore Terr "Too
Scared to Cry," is a seminal book. The research
which this beautifully written book sumarizes is a corner
stone in the modern understanding of trauma. The book
is vital and conveys the expertise and rare wisdom of
this pioneering researcher and clinician. It is equally
readable for professional or for lay persons. It is a
classic in the field and has been an inspiration to me. Peter A. Levine Ph.D.-Author of Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma." |

Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence-from Domestic Abuse to Political Terror - Judith Herman When
Judith Herman's Trauma and Recovery was first published
five years ago, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work.
In the intervening years, Herman's now classic volume
has changed the way we think about and treat traumatic
events and trauma victims. In a new introduction, Herman
chronicles the incredible response the book has elicited
and explains how the issues surrounding the topic of
trauma and recovery have shifted within the clinical
community and the culture at large. Trauma and Recovery
brings a new level of understanding to a set of problems
usually considered individually. Herman draws on her
own cutting-edge research on domestic violence, as well
as on a vast literature of combat veterans and victims
of political terror, to show the parallels between private
terrors such as rape and public traumas such as terrorism.
The book puts individual experience in a broader political
frame, arguing that psychological trauma can be understood
only in a social context. Meticulously documented and
frequently using the victims own words as well as those
from classic literary works and prison diaries, Trauma
and Recovery is a powerful work that will continue to
profoundly impact our thinking. |

Traumatic Stress: The Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society - Bessel A. Van der Kolk "Encyclopedic
in its scope, Traumatic Stress provides a detailed review
and critical analysis of the vast literature generated
by the renewed interest in psychological trauma during
the past two decades. Although not as yet woven into
a final, fully illuminative tapestry, the individual
threads of the psychological, biological, developmental,
cultural, and historical aspects of emotionally traumatic
experiences are clearly spun throughout the text. As
such, they stand as guides to deeper clinical understanding
and further research for all who wish to follow them.
The volume is an important contribution to the field
and should become a basic work of reference for the growing
legion of mental health professionals concerned with
the role of traumatic stress in the production of human
illness." --John C. Nemiah, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry,
Dartmouth Medical School, Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus,
Harvard Medical School. |

Turbulent Mirror: An Illustrated Guide to Chaos Theory and the Science of Wholeness - John Briggs & F. David Peat This
book provides a great introduction to chaos theory and
strikes a devastating blow to reductionism. Using a historical
approach, the book walks the reader through the discoveries
and mathematics that underlie fractals, chaos and complexity.
It also provides a short, fascinating interview with
Ilya Prigogine and a great layperson's introduction to
his ideas. Turbulent Mirror makes the point that because
of "sensitive dependence on initial conditions" one
can not really separate the whole from the parts - in
essence there really are no "initial conditions." The
only weakness of this book, IMHO, is the use of occasional
Alice and Wonderland illustrations and a few too many
quotes from eastern philosophy. These are not overpowering,
however, so if you don't like them them can ignore them
and enjoy the rest of the material which is truly great. |

Unchained Memories: True Stories of Traumatic Memories, Lost and Found - Lenore Terr Much controversy
exists about whether or not childhood memories repressed
for many years can be fully retrieved in adulthood without
major distortions (otherwise known as the "false
memory" debate). In this fascinating book, Terr,
author of Too Scared To Cry ( LJ 5/1/90), presents a
well-balanced, insightful examination of memory. The
themes and theories of what can go wrong with memory
and how parts of a memory can become false are skillfully
illustrated in seven case studies. The many ways we have
of remembering and of forgetting are clearly detailed.
Terr argues that all cases of reclaimed memories from
childhood should be assessed individually and that taking
a general stand on the truth or falsity of such memories
is a mistake. This rare blend of science, research, and
good storytelling makes for an exceptionally readable
book that is hard to put down. Highly recommended for
all psychology collections. |

Victims of Cruelty: Somatic Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder - Maryanna Eckberg In this
major new work on body-oriented psychotherapy, Marianna
Eckberg makes the case for somatic treatment for individuals
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In describing this therapeutic approach, she incorporates
events of historical or national significance, including
work with Vietnam vets (the first to be diagnosed with
the disorder) and the Chowchilla kidnapping victims.
Case studies from her professional efforts include work
with victims of torture in El Salvador and her own experience
as a victim of sexual and medical abuse. Victims of Cruelty
offers a stinging rebuke of electroshock therapy, a political
story of international medicine in Central America, and
the demonstration of an increasingly influential form
of treatment for PTSD. Included are an appendix of somatic
interventions and a bibliography. |

Violence: Our Deadly Epidemic and Its Causes - James Gilligan Gilligan (Center for the Study of Violence/Harvard Medical School) zeroes in on the pitch-black emptiness within America's murderers before inexplicably letting his target move out of focus. To stem the contagion of violence, Gilligan believes, America needs to understand both its root causes and the social pathogens that spread it. He points to civilization's patriarchal structure, which entails a code of honor that imposes a crippling burden of shame. When the author confines himself to the murderers he met in the ``underworld,'' or maximum-security prisons (he served as head of mental-health services for the Massachusetts prison system), Gilligan's theories gain strength. For instance, he notes that, despite more shelters for battered women, the proportion of domestic-violence deaths has doubled, because their murderers ``are precisely the men who experience a life-death dependency on their wives and an overwhelming shame because of it.'' He castigates the death penalty not just as cruel but as ineffective, since it feeds a killer's desire for punishment. Moreover, one of his prescriptions--eliminating the illiteracy that fosters many criminals' sense of shame--is practical. However, the effects of Gilligan's subtle studies of killers are lost when he applies his lessons on a broader scale to an America that he says imposes ``structural violence'' on the disadvantaged. Gilligan's call to reform America's socioeconomic structure is less a prescription than a fantasy, and he downplays the fact that most of the lower class never becomes part of the criminal class. This critique has more than a share of the politically correct, as when the author notes that no other nation or culture ``has inflicted more collective violence on its victims than white (or European) Americans have inflicted on both native Americans and African- Americans over the past five centuries.'' A deeply compassionate survey of America's contemporary Desolation Row--but more than one reader will be wishing for a little more tough love.

Body and Self, Elements of Human Biology, Behavior and Health - George J. Bloch Explains in clear,
precise language, supplemented by many detailed drawings
and diagrams, the interactions between our bodies and our
minds that help to determine our day-to-day individual
behavior as humans and, ultimately, our physical and mental
health.NOTA DO AUTOR:I did not sign a contract
(we agreed over Email during 2003 and we met together in
London in Spring, 2004), but two professors from the Department
of Biological Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University,
Manchester, UK–Dr’s Olga
Gregson and Terry
Looker–are currently rewriting and updating Body
and Self with my input. These two individuals will
be coauthors. This project
will probably take a couple of years. I hope that the
new book will more closely follow the psychobiology of stress
than did the original, which I wrote some years ago. We
will not seek a publisher until the project is more complete. |

Principles of Autonomic-Somatic Integrations: Physiological Basis and Psychological and Clinical Implications - E. Gellhom Principles of Autonomic-Somatic Integrations was first published in 1967. For a number of years Dr. Gellhorn, a professor emeritus of neurophysiology at the University of Minnesota, conducted research on various problems stemming from the need for a better understanding of the autonomic nervous system. In this book he continues his contributions on the subject, providing a significant analysis of the relationship between the autonomic and somatic systems and the implications for medicine and psychology of the principles established. The book is based on an extensive review of the international literature, of which more than 1,000 references are cited. Dr. Gellhorn points out that research in the last two decades has shown that hypothalamic and reticular mechanisms play a fundamental role in the regulation of somatic sensory and motor functions as well as visceral functions. The role of such mechanisms in functions that represent fragments of behavior has been studied in great detail, and the importance of the mechanisms in the integration of diverse systems has been emphasized. He now suggests that a few basic principles are involved in the integration of a complex maze of organs and processes and that this integration results in a coherent pattern of total behavior. In the light of these principles he provides a broad physiological interpretation of behavior and explores various clinical implications. The book will be of particular interest to physiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists. |
