ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
A neurologist's view of our response to trauma.
Our experiences of trauma sow the seeds of many persistent and misunderstood medical problems such as chronic fatigue syndrome and various maladies of the immune system. Because of our inadequate understanding of the relationship of mind and body in processing these traumas, many of us suffer needlessly from our exposure to life's traumas. Robert Scaer offers hope to those who wish to transform trauma and better understand their lives.

USER REVIEWS
"It was a good compilation of the existing material that is already out there on trauma. I don't think that it would be a good suggestion for the average patient, because it may be difficult to maintain the focus neccessary to follow his thoughts. Patients may find selected excerpts more helpful. Patients with psychosomatic illnesses will be happy to find a doctor who sees some rational behind their disorders."

"I am profoundly grateful for this excellent book. As a clinical psychologist, I see traumatized individuals every day and this book explains so much about why this happens and what to do in treatment. This book fills in the blanks of the previous literature on this emerging field of psychology. Buy it!"

"Here's a book that is just superb, in my book! Scaer is a retired medical doctor who no longer gives a rat's butt about being censured by the AMA. Just my kinda guy! And he has definitely NAILED all the ways that unresolved embodied trauma directs virtually everything in our lives from the kinds of work we do, to the kinds of parents we become, to the kinds of health issues and illnesses we encounter, to the kinds of friends and life partners we end up with. An amazingly, coherent, comprehensive account by someone who has unquestionably cleared out a lot of his own embodied trauma along the way."

"I liked the book but did not read it all because it was bought as a gift for a friend. I was surprised to get 3 copies having ordered only 2. It meant paying postage to return it and it wasn't my mistake! ECA"
