| Explore the Works of Basic Books | A top expert on human trauma argues that we vastly overestimate how common PTSD is and fail to recognize how resilient people really are. | The classic work on the enduring effects of childhood trauma. | In this classic work of developmental psychology, renowned psychiatrist and the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller What Happened to You? reveals how trauma affects children—and outlines the path to recovery. |
In this landmark work, a preeminent scholar establishes a revolutionary model for understanding and treating trauma survivors
“One of the most important psychiatric works to be published since Freud.” ―New York Times
Trauma and Recovery is the foundational text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a political frame, psychiatrist Judith L. Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war.
A landmark work in the psychiatric field, Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how we heal.
