Trauma suffered during childhood can affect not only a person's
emotional and mental health, but also their physical health, even
into adulthood. This unique book fills a gap in research in this
area, providing personal and theoretical perspectives on trauma and
recovery. The contributors tell powerful stories of traumatic
childhood events, including bereavement, abuse and evacuation and
separation from parents. They document their reactions to trauma
whether through illness, disability, addiction, psychosomatic
disorders, self-harming behaviours or dissociation. Each author
also shows the pathway they have taken towards transforming their
bodies to well-being. This will be a valuable resource for those
who are dealing with the impact of childhood trauma in their own
lives; their families and friends whose lives are also touched;
workers in the field of trauma, especially medical practitioners
who can sometimes feel helpless when faced with patients whose
symptoms they cannot understand or heal; and counsellors,
psychotherapists and psychologists. This book will also be of value
to researchers interested in narrative research methods.
