The Body Keeps the Score

Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Book • 2014

Bessel van der Kolk

In this book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma reshapes both the body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

He explores various treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to aid in recovery.

The book emphasizes the power of relationships in both causing and healing trauma and offers hope through descriptions of novel approaches to treatment.

It is based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists in the field.
