A must-read and essential text on trauma by a true expert. This book takes readers on a journey well away from all-too-common stigmatising and over diagnostic narratives, to one which helps us see children for who they are, for what they really need, why they act as they do, and most importantly, how we can spot genuine trauma in children and help them recover. De Thierry writes with an easy style, and makes her points using a wide range of the most important clinical and neuroscience theories, all worn lightly. Fundamentally this is that rare thing, a text that genuinely helps professionals, therapists and parents reach into the worlds of traumatised children and help them to actually recover. This book will be a boon to so many who need just this kind of guidance in working with the most traumatised children.
