I noticed that the book by the psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma,1 was #4. It describes his research on how trauma effects both the mind and body. Rather unique at the time was his conclusion that whether the traumatized realized it or not, their body was hurt as well as their mind—keeping score, if you will. References1. van der Kolk B. The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.
