    About this audiobook

    When Trauma and Recovery was first published in 1992, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work. In the intervening years, Judith Lewis Herman's volume has changed the way we think about and treat traumatic events and trauma victims. In a new afterword, Herman chronicles the incredible response the book has elicited and explains how the issues surrounding the topic have shifted within the clinical community and the culture at large.



    Trauma and Recovery brings a new level of understanding to a set of problems usually considered individually. Herman draws on her own cutting-edge research in domestic violence as well as on the vast literature of combat veterans and victims of political terror, to show the parallels between private terrors such as rape and public traumas such as terrorism. The book puts individual experience in a broader political frame, arguing that psychological trauma can be understood only in a social context. Meticulously documented and frequently using the victims' own words as well as those from classic literary works and prison diaries, Trauma and Recovery is a powerful work that will continue to profoundly impact our thinking.

      Lucid, healing, educational and instructive, this work is a masterpiece! I feel more hopeful that recovery is my and our collective destiny to seek and fulfill. Lewis presents a road map of how to get there. The candor from frequent quotes of survivors, and frankness about the nature of power and oppression help to unravel some of the complexity that we need to recognize and face in order to find healing. The fact of gruesome acts, and the human capacity for love, connection, survival and resilience are all held in a beautiful dynamic tension by the author. This work is a step forward for psychology and humanity. Thank you!
