Product Description
A world-renowned child psychiatrist takes us inside his pioneering work with trauma victims to offer a groundbreaking new perspective on how stress and violence affect children's brains--and how they can be helped to heal. Child psychiatrist Bruce Perry has treated children faced with unimaginable horror: genocide survivors, witnesses, children raised in closets and cages, and victims of family violence. Here he tells their stories of trauma and transformation.

A must for anyone working with emotionally challenging youth. August 22, 2010
Kathleen S Hannon
After teaching for 22 years, this was a book that helped me look at students I have had with a deeper understanding and empathy. In education there is so much that we don't know about the students we serve. This book shed light on our continued need to be compassionate and deepen our own understanding.
Re-think behaviors August 9, 2010
Quirk
Excellent read for anyone working to identify and remove behavioral barriers for children. This author relates heartbreaking cases of children with extreme behaviors that they developed in response to chronic abuse/neglect. Dr. Perry is very knowledgeable and realistic, and the writing style is easily accessible. Information will cause the reader to re-think their evaluations of children's behaviors - labels such as "incorrigible", "mentally ill", "willful" or "hopeless" are re-examined as "developmentally damaged due to extreme trauma - exhibiting post-traumatic stress disorder" - Dr. Perry removes traditional labels to discover the nature of the damage, the ways that the featured children manifest or cope with their trauma, develops respectful relationships as the first pillar of treatment, then works a treatment plan to restore the "missing/damaged parts" of the child's development - this book is not a playbook for therapeutic intervention (one size does not fit all), but a call to re-consider responses to the extreme behaviors of troubled children.
Required Reading for Humans July 16, 2010
C. A. Johnson (On the Prairie, USA)
This is a largely accessible book, even though it does discuss brain functioning. It tends to be repetitive in this regard, but since the brain is a central aspect of the book and the brain can be difficult to grasp, I don't think it is too repetitious. In between brain discussions, it reads like a novel. You do not have to be a brain surgeon or a psychiatrist to read this book. This is an important book for all who work with children, but it should also be read by all who may even accidentally have contact with children--or other humans. This book is an important gift to civilization, I hope its concepts become commonplace knowledge very soon.
Wonderful! May 3, 2010
Dulcinea (Havertown, PA United States)
I highly recommend this book to anyone working with children. Each chapter is well written and an easy read--with a lot of information about early brain development. Wonderful book!
