Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Such experiences inevitably leave traces on minds, emotions, and even on biology. Sadly, trauma sufferers frequently pass on their stress to their partners and children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRenowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. In \u003ci\u003eThe Body Keeps the Score\u003c\/i\u003e, he transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain's wiring--specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust.
