About the author

​Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.

In 1984, he set up one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, which has trained numerous researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress, and which has been continually funded to research the impact of traumatic stress and effective treatment interventions. He did the first studies on the effects of SSRIs on PTSD; was a member of the first neuroimaging team to investigate how trauma changes brain processes, and did the first research linking BPD and deliberate self-injury to trauma and neglect in early childhood.

Reviews

[Sarah Elliott · Rating 1 out of 5]

Did not enjoy, couldn’t finish. Writing style wise, felt like the same chapter repeated again and again. Content wise, psychology trying to prove itself by showing physical manifestations of psych disorders - I already buy into psych so no need to sell me on somatic symptoms. Book for someone to retroactively rationalize to themselves why they have issues… for me, whiney and unproductive.
