The Body Keeps the Score: Brain

This book may suit readers who want a serious, research-informed look at trauma and its effects on the mind and body. It is also a natural fit for people who are deciding between a clinical title and something more general, since the subject matter is dense but still aimed at a broad audience rather than specialists only. If someone is looking for a book that treats trauma as more than a purely mental issue, this is the kind of title that belongs on the short list.
