"In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps.

Dr. Peter Levine, the creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach and best-selling author of Trauma and Memory, addresses one of the trickiest and most contentious issues in PTSD/trauma therapy: can we trust our memories? Some contend that traumatic memories are unhelpful and unreliable, while others maintain that memory is an essential tool for understanding the past. Dr. Levine makes the argument that there are elements of truth in both camps based on his 45 years of successful trauma treatment and case studies from his own practice. I had also reviewed this book on shabd.in too.
