Recensioner i media

“Well structured, thoughtful and written in such a way that the rigour and critical engagement the author brings to his topic does not reduce the pleasure in reading this volume. The author communicates complex ideas without obscuring them. … The book elegantly summarises the relevant models and how they might apply to an understanding of trauma.” (Andrew Beck, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol. 18 (1), March, 2018)
