Mapping Trauma and Its Wake

"... this book is a gem. A collection of autobiographical answers by leading trauma scholars will enlighten all of us, including the scholars themselves."- Louis Tinnin, Medical Director of the Trauma Recovery Institute, Morgantown, West Virginia, USA

"This volume is a historical goldmine from the makers of the recent history in trauma literature. The biggest names in the trauma field tell their inspirational stories in this historical gem. It is fascinating reading - we are allowed a little glimpse into the personal and professional histories of the names we know. I couldn't put it down! It belongs on every bookshelf of every person interested in trauma and the development of the field."- Barbara Olasov Rothbaum, Emory University School of Medicine, USA, Director, Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program, and President, International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (2005)

"In addition to suggesting linkages between their own life experiences and the investigation and conceptualization of psychological trauma, [the contributions] possess the fascination of windows into the creative interior of colleagues usually known only through reports of their work. This enumeration only scratches the surface of the interests and experiences of the authors, but it offers some idea of the contents of this instructive volume, which is recommended to present and future students of psychological trauma." - The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Volume 195, Number 11, November 2007

"Reading this book is like sitting one on one with gifted friends and learning from them the powerful experiences that helped shape the amazing work they have done to help others and us, their grateful colleagues, so hungry for answers in our own efforts. This book is a treasure, offering riveting reading to any clinician, but it is of special value to those of us who work in the trenches of trauma work every day, trying to assist the psychically wounded out to safety and help the healing of their very difficult wounds to begin." - Journal of Trauma and Dissociation
