Trauma, the Body and Transformation: A Narrative Inquiry
Kim Etherington
Trauma suffered during childhood can affect not only a person's emotional and mental health, but also their physical health, even into adulthood. This unique book fills a gap in research in this area, providing personal and theoretical perspectives on trauma and recovery.
