Circumcision, The Hidden Trauma : How an American Cultural Practice Affects Infants and Ultimately Us All17 reviews
Ronald Goldman

Vanguard Publications, 1997

Bridging the gap between medicine, psychology and culture
"Just as expected, seventy-two percent of the male students are circumcised. At Clem's party I had been reminded of the promiscuous way in which American doctors circumcise males in childhood, a practice I highly disapprove of...it constitutes, in [an] advertiser's phrase, 'a rape of the penis'. Until the forties, only the upper or educated classes were circumcised in America. The REAL people ... 		  
  







  
  
Nam Vet: Making Peace with Your Past17 reviews
Chuck Dean

Multnomah Books, 1990

Destined to become a classic
This is one of the finest books written for Vietnam veterans and their families, and I've read many. As a former wife of a Vietnam vet, I know too well the emotional devastation that was visited on those of us who were ill prepared for the return of our loved ones, suffering from psychic war wounds. This book spells out what PTSD is, in clear, understandable language. How I wish I'd had this ...

E Everett McFall

Outskirts Press, 2007

A Must Read !!!!
Being the wife of a combat Marine I really learned alot from Doc's book. I read the book all the way through and this is a book that is alive. Our heroes sacrifice so much for us and if it wasn't for them we would not have our freedom. Doc, thank you for helping me understand more about PTSD and what y'all went through. I don't give this book a 5 star rating , I give it a 10 star rating.

The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook: What Traumatized ...19 reviews
Bruce D. Perry, Maia Szalavitz

Basic Books, 2007

Brilliant and moving
Assisted by a talented science writer, child psychiatrist Bruce Perry presents a series of heartbreaking stories of children severely damaged by trauma. But that's only one side of this remarkable book. The other side is how many of these profoundly damaged children were assisted to heal. Perry explains his "neurosequential" approach that sequentially targets brain regions left undeveloped by ... 		  
  







  
  
The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment19 reviews
Babette Rothschild

W. W. Norton & Company, 2000

Finally................................
After 26 years of thinking, "I should be over it", I now know its part of my body, not just my brain. I remember yelling out loud, THATS IT, and thinking I felt better immediately. I wasn't a loser, basket case mental job, but "my body remembers". I gave the book to my therapist, hoping she can help others. I actually contacted author to thank her, and she has a new book in the process. Thank ... 		  
  







  
  
Over My Head: A Doctor's Own Story of Head Injury from the Inside Looking Out59 reviews
Claudia L. Osborn

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2000

Brain Fog Unfogged -- A Feat in Communication
Osborn does what is virtually impossible. She translates the fog of a damaged brain's function into vignettes that an undamaged brain can comprehend. In her case, this translation is from experiences which were by definition wordless, disorganized, incomprehensible, frightening and often completely mindless to their opposites. The level of Dr. Osborn's skill in doing this may be best ... 		  
  







  
  
Beyond Peleliu16 reviews
Peter, D Baird

Ravenhawk Books, 2006

Where has novelist Peter Baird been hiding?
Wow! I am at a near loss for words. I received Beyond Peleliu 2 days ago from Amazon and finished it last night. I must say that I had a hard time sleeping after finishing the book. Obviously, the book touched me in a very meaningful way, as I'm sure it has other readers, based on the reviews. Reading this book is a life-affirming event. The pain endured by the McQuades is so genuine it ...

Patience H. Mason

Patience Press, 1998

Recovering from the War: A Woman's Guide to Helping Your Vie
I highly recommend this book to ANY combat veteran's wife and family. It should be required reading for any wife of a combat veteran even if her husband has not been diagnosed with PTSD. I have been with my wife for ten years. Last year she took our children and left me becuase she thought that she was going to lose her mind. She always thought that if she could do better then I would be OK. It ... 		  
  







  
  
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures, 2nd Edition10 reviews
Francine Shapiro

The Guilford Press, 2001

Recommend!
Easy to read and helpful for understanding the process of EMDR. I would have to agree with the previous reviewer Laura M that PEACEFUL HEART : A Woman's Journey to Healing is a must-read. Aimee Jo Martin's story clearly illustrates and details her journey with successful EMDR treatments. Quite powerful if you want to really see how effective EMDR can be.

real literature
How great is it to read real literature again? Such a breath of fresh air. Freirich has written a rich, completely absorbing, yet totally accessible novel. He digs into the characters and we stay with them on their transcendant journey from hapless bystander to complex, fully realized, emotionally wounded collateral vicitms of random violence. This moment is surely the most indelible moment of ...

After 9-11, and losing a loved one in the WTC, I thought my life was also over.

The Souvenir: A Daughter Discovers Her Father's War16 reviews
Louise Steinman

North Atlantic Books, 2008

AN EXCELLENT READ AND A WORK VERY WELL DONE!
Like so many in my generation, the author, like the rest of us, really had no clue as to what made her father tick. These men, and women, of the "Greatest Generation" were a different breed. I had to blink twice when the author described her father, his attitudes, work ethic, treatment of his family and on and on. She could have well been describing my own father. The author, after her ...

I would highly recommend this novel. Aside from finding it incredibly entertaining I found it to be a poignant look at one of the most significant events of recent times. The author took an extremely sensitive topic and told an emotional and intriguing story with a great deal of grace and skill. I particularly enjoyed the interesting style in which the author intertwined multiple storylines which ... 		  
  







  
  
Copshock, Surviving Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Surviving Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Ptsd)13 reviews
Allen R. Kates

Holbrook Street Pr, 1999

One of the most helpful books for police officers!
I have been working with police officers and their families for over 20 years and have debriefed over 800 officers who have been involved in critical incidents. COPSHOCK is perhaps one of the most comprehensive and helpful books for police officers. I like the way Mr. Kates breaks down the stressors and topics. For example, there is one chapter just on "flashbacks." The book is written in ...
