This recorded book joins my growing list of titles dealing with trauma, and in particular childhood trauma. Dr. Perry's pioneering work as a psychiatrist serving children—those who lived through the horrors of Waco, Texas, a little girl who witnessed the murder of her mother, the title story, and a variety of others—left me hopeful for this field of care and thankful for those who pursue it with such compassion and diligence.

Learning the basics of the brain's developmental stages and how trauma impacts these is one of my take-aways. Perry also emphasizes the healing found in accessible practices such as predictable patterned routine, patience, and value in the number and quality of relationships a child establishes.

I found the reader's voice slightly distracting with occasional problematic pronunciation, but the overall content made it worthwhile listening. ( )

I've read this twice, years apart, in two different editions. As part of an undergrad psych course I read the original book, and more recently for a graduate counseling course I read the new, expanded edition. I've also had the opportunitiy to hear Dr. Perry lecture in person and talk to him a bit. Both editions are excellent, with the more recent one literally just containing updates to the individual cases to account for the large span of time between editions, so pick up the new one.
Dr. Perry is one of the greatest living therapists/psychiatrists working with highly traumatized children. For those familiar with his work overall, a lot of the discourse here is going to be familiar to the point of repetitiveness, but if you're just getting into the field there's a really low barrier to entry here as its written to be accessible to a lay audience. Think of it as something between anecdotal stories and case studies involving the application of his theories and techniques across his career.
While written to be accessible to the lay person, this is really looking at highly traumatized individuals mostly from backgrounds of unbelievable abuse. Unless you or a loved one is struggling with a traumatic background, or you work with those who have/work in education or human services, it feels a little exploitive/distasteful to read this just for 'fun'. Though I can definitely see some material here for those interested in or working in fields related to True Crime or cults, as there are stories involving children from groups such as the Branch Dividians. Similarly, those who may have had a very violent/traumatic childhood may want to just assume the whole book has a big trigger warning label on it.

Kinderpsychiater Bruce Perry helpt dagelijks getraumatiseerde kinderen. Bevlogen en met compassie vertelt hij over kinderen zoals Laura, een vierjarig meisje met een groeiachterstand, dat meer baat had bij een grote dosis liefde dan bij speciale diëten; Connor, die als baby lange tijd aan een stuk alleen werd gelaten en die opbloeide door massage en muziektherapie, en Justin, de zesjarige jongen die opgroeide als hond, en die zijn taal- en ontwikkelingsachterstand verbazingwekkend snel inhaalde toen zijn hersenen op de juiste manier gestimuleerd werden.

Door zijn baanbrekende werk op het snijvlak van neurowetenschap en psychologie kan Bruce Perry als geen ander inzicht geven in wat er precies gebeurt in de hersenen als een kind al vroeg in het leven wordt blootgesteld aan traumatische ervaringen en welke, soms verrassende, methoden gebruikt kunnen worden om het kind te helpen opgroeien tot een volwassene die sterk in het leven staat. Een fascinerend boek, niet alleen voor mensen die werken met getraumatiseerde kinderen maar ook voor pleeg- en adoptieouders.

Deze geactualiseerde editie bevat een nieuw voorwoord, een extra hoofdstuk, uitgebreide commentaren per hoofdstuk en een studiegids met vragen en antwoorden voor groepsdiscussies.

Bruce Perry is kinderpsychiater en grondlegger van de ChildTrauma Academy in Houston, Texas. Ook adviseert hij de FBI. Maia Szalavitz is wetenschapsjournaliste en won verscheidene prijzen met haar journalistieke werk.

Child psychiatrist Perry educates readers about how early-life stress and violence affects the developing brain. He offers simple yet vivid illustrations of the stress response and the brain's mechanisms with facts and images that crystallize in the mind without being too detailed or confusing. The stories exhibit compassion, understanding and hope as Perry paints detailed, humane pictures of patients who have experienced violence, sexual abuse or neglect, and Perry invites the reader on his own journey to understanding how the developing child's brain works.

Intriguing dive into traumatic childhood. Posits that human development requires extensive touch, modeling, and acceptance, yet our societies police touch, encourage individual action, and apply punishment. Child DXs like ADD, addiction, self harm are rooted in trauma. Wished author connected car real ( )
