When Trauma and Recovery was first published in 1992, it was hailed
as a ground-breaking work. In the intervening years, Herman's
volume has changed the way we think about and treat traumatic
events and trauma victims. In a new afterword, Herman chronicles
the incredible response the book has elicited and explains how the
issues surrounding the topic have shifted within the clinical
community and the culture at large. Trauma and Recovery brings a
new level of understanding to a set of problems usually considered
individually. Herman draws on her own cutting-edge research in
domestic violence as well as on the vast literature of combat
veterans and victims of political terror, to show the parallels
between private terrors such as rape and public traumas such as
terrorism. The book puts individual experience in a broader
political frame, arguing that psychological trauma can be
understood only in a social context. Meticulously documented and
frequently using the victims' own words as well as those from
classic literary works and prison diaries, Trauma and Recovery is a
powerful work that will continue to profoundly impact our thinking.
