Its deeply empathic, insightful, and compassionate perspective promises to further humanize the treatment of trauma victims, dramatically expand their repertoire of self-regulatory healing practices and therapeutic options, and also stimulate greater creative thinking and research on trauma and its effective treatment. The body does keep the score, and Van der Kolk’s ability to demonstrate this through compelling descriptions of the work of others, his own pioneering trajectory and experience as the field evolved and him along with it, and above all, his discovery of ways to work skillfully with people by bringing mindfulness to the body (as well as to their thoughts and emotions) through yoga, movement, and theater are a wonderful and welcome breath of fresh air and possibility in the therapy world.”  \n—Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor of medicine emeritus, UMass Medical School; author of Full Catastrophe Living  \n“This exceptional book will be a classic of modern psychiatric thought. The impact of overwhelming experience can only be truly understood when many disparate domains of knowledge, such as neuroscience, developmental psychopathology, and interpersonal neurobiology are integrated, as this work uniquely does. There is no other volume in the field of traumatic stress that has distilled these domains of science with such rich historical and clinical perspectives, and arrived at such innovative treatment approaches. The clarity of vision and breadth of wisdom of this unique but highly accessible work is remarkable. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.”  \n—Alexander McFarlane AO, MB BS (Hons) MD FRANZCP, director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies, The University of Adelaide, South Australia.  \n“This is an amazing accomplishment from the neuroscientist most responsible for the contemporary revolution in mental health toward the recognition that so many mental problems are the product of trauma. With the compelling writing of a good novelist, van der Kolk revisits his fascinating journey of discovery that has challenged established wisdom in psychiatry. Interspersed with that narrative  \nare clear and understandable descriptions of the neurobiology of trauma; explanations of the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches to treating trauma; and introductions to the approaches that take patients beneath their cognitive minds to heal the parts of them that remained frozen in the past. All this is illustrated vividly with dramatic case histories and substantiated with convincing research. This is a watershed book that will be remembered as tipping the scales within psychiatry and the culture at large toward the recognition of the toll traumatic events and our attempts to deny their impact take on us all.”  \n—Richard Schwartz, originator, Internal Family Systems Therapy  \n“The Body Keeps the Score is clear, fascinating, hard to put down, and filled with powerful case histories. Van der Kolk, the eminent impresario of trauma treatment, who has spent a career bringing together diverse trauma scientists and clinicians and their ideas, while making his own pivotal contributions, describes what is arguably the most important series of breakthroughs in mental health in the last thirty years. We’ve known that psychological trauma fragments the mind. Here we see not only how psychological trauma also breaks connections within the brain, but also between mind and body, and learn about the exciting new approaches that allow people with the severest forms of trauma to put all the parts back together again.”  \n—Norman Doidge, author of The Brain That Changes Itself  \n“In The Body Keeps the Score we share the author ’s courageous journey into the parallel dissociative worlds of trauma victims and the medical and psychological disciplines that are meant to provide relief.","cbCaiinEPnXhjn6T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiinEPnXhjn6T","pdf",8740111,464,"English","# Praise and endorsements\n## Empathy and compassionate trauma care\n## Integration of neuroscience and clinical practice\n## Mindfulness, yoga, movement, theater\n## Critique of traditional approaches\n## Evidence, research, and case histories","[{\"question\":\"What makes The Body Keeps the Score stand out, according to endorsements?\",\"answer\":\"Endorsers highlight its deeply empathic perspective, compassionate tone, and ability to integrate major domains of knowledge while remaining accessible.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book connect mindfulness to body-based healing?\",\"answer\":\"Praise specifically mentions bringing mindfulness to the body through practices such as yoga, movement, and theater, pairing awareness of thoughts and emotions with somatic work.\"},{\"question\":\"What do reviewers say about traditional trauma treatments and the book’s approach?\",\"answer\":\"Endorsements describe explanations for the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches and present newer strategies that help patients reconnect cognitive processes with bodily experience.\"}]","The Body Keeps the Score - Book reviews and praise | PDF",1169]
