Transforming Trauma

Meer over het boek

A world-recognized authority and mind-body medicine pioneer presents the first evidence-based program to reverse the psychological and biological damage caused by trauma. As the founder and director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM), the largest program for healing population-wide trauma, Harvard-trained psychiatrist James Gordon has taught a curriculum that has alleviated trauma for diverse groups, including refugees and survivors of war in Bosnia, Kosovo, Israel, Gaza, and Syria, as well as Native Americans on the Pine Ridge Reservation, New York City firefighters and their families, and members of the U.S. military. Dr. Gordon and his team have also supported middle-class professionals, stay-at-home mothers, inner-city children of color, White House officials, medical students, and those facing severe emotional and physical challenges. This work represents the culmination of Dr. Gordon's fifty years as a pioneer in mind-body medicine and an advocate for integrative approaches to overcoming psychological trauma and stress. Through inspirational stories, eye-opening research, and innovative prescriptive support, this book makes accessible for the first time the methods developed by Dr. Gordon and his faculty of 160, along with 6,000 trained clinicians, educators, and community leaders, to relieve the suffering of countless adults and children worldwide.
