    Dissociation is a bitch
  

*by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2016*

This book helped me change my life.  I realized a bit late in life (50ish) that I'd been dissociating for most of my life.  Seemingly from trauma as a baby and child.Judith Herman writes this book with such love, and nurturing and caring.  I read it very slowly, with a highlighter.  I could only read it a bit at a time, to give myself time to process.  The book helped me understand things that had been mysteries to me my entire life!  I hadn't made the PTSD connection before.  Life has a way of illuminating things.  At first, I wanted to track Dr. Herman down and see her for a few sessions.  Too bad I don't have that kind of money :-)  I found a PTSD group via MeetUps, and started working with the therapist who runs it and offers a sliding scale.  I'm an integrated and joyful person these days.

    Good but disappointing
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019*

I really wanted this book to be better, but I found it disappointing. Traumas come in all shapes and forms, and the affect all genders. The author seemed to be stuck with the view that women are only traumatized by sexual abuse and violence, and men are only traumatized by war. While she occasionally mentions that other traumatic events happen, she uses example after example of her stereotypical and sometimes narrow minded view. My comments are in no way denying that women are too often subjugated to sexual violence and abuse, or that war affects men. I just wish that the author would have spent more time dealing with traumas outside the box. Those traumas are compounded by lay people and professionals who follow her limited views. They too often are treated as though their experiences aren’t *real* traumas because they don’t fall into the neat categories that the author advances.

    Enthralling book
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017*

Incredible book.  I am reading it for a course in clinical treatment for trauma. The book is an extra-ordinary, moving, tour de force that moves elegantly from the history of the idea of trauma (its origins in French studies of hysteria) through the "discovery" of PTSD with war veterans to the feminist uncovering of rape, domestic violence, and child abuse.  Herman argues that although medical professionals and society recognize that some people suffer from a malady of depression, anxiety, uncontrolled fear, dissociation, and pain they are not always willing to give this condition a name or to treat it unless a political movement comes along and makes the case that an entire group of neglected people is suffering and deserves help.  At any given time there are some groups (vets) whose suffering is recognized while another group (women or children) whose suffering is not recognized or whose symptoms are patholgized or repressed or ignored. At the present moment, I think Dr. Herman would agree, the study of trauma has expanded past the first two groups (war veterans and women/children) to include refugees, immigrants, and minorities in an oppressive political system.  This book is beautifully written--it is both academic and intellectual, and accessible to people who are suffering and want to understand their own experience more.
