The Body Keeps the Score

by Bessel van der Kolk

2014 · 464 pages · Nonfiction

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, explores how traumatic experiences literally reshape both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments-from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga-that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. This seminal work is a profound exploration of the human resilience required to reclaim one's life after devastating experiences, making it a cornerstone of modern psychological literature.
