Reseñas de la Crítica

Fascinating, hard to put down, and filled with powerful case histories. . . . the most important series of breakthroughs in mental health in the last thirty years (Norman Doidge, author of The Brain That Changes Itself)

Dr. van der Kolk's masterpiece combines the boundless curiosity of the scientist, the erudition of the scholar, and the passion of the truth teller (Judith Herman, M.D., author of Trauma and Recovery)

A masterpiece of powerful understanding and brave heartedness, one of the most intelligent and helpful works on trauma I have ever read. . . a brilliant synthesis of clinical cases, neuroscience, powerful tools and caring humanity, offering a whole new level of healing (Jack Kornfied, author of A Path With Heart)

Excellent description of psychology of resume and ptsd in context

Aside from the well-researched and fascinating information about psychological and physiological effects of trauma + successful therapies, the book also addresses some of the historical and “political” context of the struggle to see and recognize and properly diagnose/treat patients. Really well-done.

Good material. Poor narrative

The author knows what he's talking about. He has rich experience to communicate buut unfortunately he does a mediocre job at it. The story is repetitive and boring. It is too much about himself and his achievements.

Must read

A book that leave you thinking, subject interesting , but be aware that traumas from past might come up

This is a very informative and amazing read

This book helped me through a very confusing and tough part of my life! Having studied paycology and suffered severe trauma Bessel van der Kolk is amazing in this book!

Traumatizing stories indeed but there is hope

This book is confirming for me how important community support , music and group play is important to heal trauma .

Great book!

Great insights both for patients and professionals! The science and therapy possibilities are well communicated via real-life stories, which are easy to follow and comprehensive.

Fully packed with tools and stories

This books covers variety of tools to work with in all kinds of therapy. Tools are backed up with intense stories, some hard to believe that there are such cruel people in the world. Nevertheless, this is beautifully written and narrated. Some paragraphs were less of interest to me (went into physiology/ neurology too much), but some examples used, I will take with me for a long time. This book is wonderful example of mind-body-soul concept without going into esoteric.

Everyone needs to read this book

An important read to help us understand and support each other better - excellent read & listen

Bound to become a classical

Heaven ,t read or listened to any book on trauma before . Read on psychologie/ neuropsychology/ .
This book seems to cover all for me . It helped me understanding myself and my trauma’s ( most of them little t trauma,d)
I think it is a must read for anybody who is interested in psychologie and trauma .
It is really well lived well researched and on top off the game and still easy to read as a layman.

Incredible read for self and community!

I’ve learnt so much about myself, trauma processing and building empathy for those around me. This book is comprehensive and practical even to a layman. It is a mirror to the reader and best read with an open mind, honest self reflection and hopefully will inspire A desire to heal oneself.
