This groundbreaking book broadens understanding for trauma survivors, clinicians, and those seeking to comprehend abuse. While the link between trauma and mental health is increasingly acknowledged, confusion persists regarding effective understanding and treatment. Through case studies and expert analysis, Dr. Ahona Guha delves into complex traumas, recovery, and the nature of abusers. She addresses the often-overlooked 'difficult' trauma victims and poses essential questions: Why are psychological abuse and coercive control hard to identify? What behaviors should raise red flags? Why do some individuals harm others, and how can we protect ourselves? As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. Guha has worked extensively with perpetrators, including stalkers and violent offenders, gaining insight into the psychological and social factors that drive abuse. Her clinical experience in trauma treatment highlights the significant impacts of complex trauma and the systemic failures faced by victims. By prioritizing compassion, Dr. Guha advocates for a more informed approach to understanding both perpetrators and victims, aiming to foster a safer and healthier society for all.
