Dr. Bess
Coping with Traum
Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. has been the
Medical Director of The Trauma Center in
Boston for the past 30 years. He is a
Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University
Medical School and serves as the Director of
the National Center for Child Traumatic
Stress Complex Trauma Network. He is past
President of International Society for
Traumatic Stress Studies. Though he
identifies himself primarily as a clinician, he
has published well over 100 peer reviewed
scientific articles on various aspects of
trauma, including his current projects: 1) yoga
for treating PTSD, funded by the National
Institutes of Health; 2) the use of theater for
violence prevention in the Boston public
schools, funded by the CDC; 3) the
mechanisms of EMDR; 4) sensory
integration; and 5) the use of neurofeedback
in PTSD. His most recent book, The Body
Keeps the Score, has been published to
worldwide acclaim.
The Body Keeps the Score, transforms our
understanding of traumatic stress, revealing
how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—
specifically areas dedicated to pleasure,
engagement, control, and trust. We learn how
these areas can be reactivated through
innovative treatments including neurofeedback,
mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other
therapies.
Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other
leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score offers proven
alternatives to drugs and talk therapy—and a way to reclaim
lives.
