Trauma and Recovery by Judith Lewis Herman

This is a book about restoring connections: between the public and private worlds, between the individual and community, between men and women. In this study of trauma, the author makes the revolutionary link between the "heroic" suffering of men in war and political struggle and the degraded suffering of women who are victims of rape, incest, and domestic violence. Herman repeatedly challenges established orthodoxies, identifies a new diagnostic category for those suffering from "hidden" traumas and proposes a ground-breaking recovery programme which favours a process of reintegration to one of catharsis.
