The Body Keeps the Score · Bessel van der Kolk

«Das Trauma in dir — Wie der Körper den Schrecken festhält und wie wir heilen können» by Bessel van der Kolk, Ullstein. The German edition of «The Body Keeps the Score».

Van der Kolk is a psychiatrist and has worked with the consequences of trauma for forty years. His central observation: a trauma sits not only in memory but in the body — in tension, breathing, startle response. From that follows what one can work with: bodywork, movement, breath, community, not conversation alone.

A worldwide bestseller you find in almost every bookshop — and still one of those books that get handed on. It was in the same box as the rest.
