Comrade Kvlt’s Reviews > The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma > Status Update

This covers quite a lot of ground in a very smooth and accessible manner. Just now though i would say van der kolk is treading on some sketchy ground though. I've read one of the main criticisms of him is his support of repressed memories, which afaik is a debunked idea in psychology. Up until just recently he never seemed to talk about it but now seems to really support on it.

Yeah surely the veteran is only traumatized from his buddies getting killed not at all for the raping and massacring he did that the author literally called "justified". Lots of valuable stuff here but the chauvinism/lack of critical thinking shows on occasion typical westoid brain.
