Summary

Join Dr. Paul Conti for a journey toward understanding, active treatment, and societal prevention of trauma. Imagine, if you will, a disease - one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice; one that transfers easily between parent and child; one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualise trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis. He examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does he explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also shows that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups. The book proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable.
