This new, revised edition incorporates significant advances in
neurobiological research over the past decade, and includes a new
introduction by Dr. Vincent J. Felitti, a leading researcher in the
field. When Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence
was published in 1997, it was lauded for providing scientific
evidence that violence can originate in the womb and become
entrenched in a child's brain by preschool. The authors'
groundbreaking conclusions became even more relevant following the
wave of school shootings across the nation including the tragedy at
Columbine High School and the shocking subsequent shootings
culminating most recently in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Connecticut. Following each of these media
coverage and public debate turned yet again to the usual suspects
concerning the causes of violence: widespread availability of guns
and lack of mental health services for late-stage treatment.
Discussion of the impact of trauma on human life--especially early
in life during chemical and structural formation of the brain--is
missing from the equation. Karr-Morse and Wiley continue to shift
the conversation among parents and policy makers toward more
fundamental preventative measures against violence.
