The Body Keeps The Score Karlie Chen
I was so attracted by this book name “ The Body Keeps The S c o r e” w h e n I f i r s t s a w i t i n m y s c h o o l l i b r a r y. T h i s b o o k i s mainly about traumatic stress. The body is triggered to even a situation which is just slightly similar to what had caused the trauma. It results in sequelae such as insomnia, drug a n d a l c o h o l a d d i c t i o n a n d s e l f - d e s t r u c t i v e b e h a v i o r. W i t h D r. B e s s e l v a n d e r K o l k ’s p r o f o u n d m e d i c a l k n o w l e d g e , he reveals trauma via a number of interesting experiments and explains from the changes of brain substances. After many years of his clinical practices, he has also brought for th a controversial discussion about the medicine usage of psychiatric patients. Currently there are about 500,000 children in the USA taking psychiatric medication; however t h i s h i n d e r s t h e i r m o t i v a t i o n , r e c r e a t i o n a b i l i t y a n d c u r i o s i t y, w h i c h a r e c r u c i a l a s a c o n t r i b u t i n g m e m b e r o f a s o c i e t y. These chemicals may be able to suppress symptoms but not curing from deep within. It means their right of thorough recovery is also deprived.
