Trauma Is a Thief by Neal King

Trauma Is a Thief>is a memoir(ish) work whose author - a California-based, American, cisgender, White, gay-male psychologist, professor, and former college president - uses his own lived experiences of trauma in a very disturbed family (including sexual and physical abuse, abandonment, and multiple family addictions) to elucidate the developmental and lifelong impact of trauma.


In a deeply personal work, Neal offers his childhood as an illustrative case study as he invites the reader - applying his professional expertise as author, researcher, and clinician - inside his disturbed family and traumatic early life - and the years since as he has struggled in the aftermath toward healing and wholeness.

Martha McCaughey, author of Real Knockouts: The Physical Feminism of Women's Self-Defense, is Associate Professor and Director of Women's Studies in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Appalachian State University. Neal King, author of Heroes
