Description
Behaviours always make sense when you understand the history of a human being. * We live in a trauma world; we need an awakening-a shift in the way we treat trauma-from war, poverty, addiction, and abuse of every kind. * At its core, The Trauma Heart is designed to help families understand that addiction and other negative behaviours are the outward manifestations of a deeper pain to which the entire family contributes. * The Trauma Heart is written for the individual manifesting anti-social behaviour as well as their families, mental health professionals, and the general public. It is imperative that everyone understands the role trauma plays in addiction, relapse, and disturbing behaviour patterns in order to change the way we care for those who are affected-both families, society at large, and therapists. In The Trauma Heart, Judy Crane explores the many ways that life's events impact each member of the family. She reveals the essence of trauma and addictions treatment through the stories, art, and assignments of former clients and the staff who worked with them, offering a snapshot of their pain and healing.
