Le corps n'oublie rien - Pratique - Bessel Van der Kolk - Pocket, 2021
Dutch-born American psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, a world-renowned specialist in post-traumatic stress disorder, has written a landmark book that combines neuroscience, clinical practice and humanity. Drawing on forty years of work with survivors - veterans, victims of violence, accidents or assault - he clearly explores the profound mechanisms of trauma and its lasting impact on the brain, emotions and body. Through the poignant accounts of his patients and the latest scientific discoveries, he shows that trauma is not erased, but inscribed in the body's memory, impregnating our sensations and reactions. A true international reference, he sheds light on our extraordinary capacity to endure... and to heal.
