Overview

How do survivors of child abuse, bullying, chronic oppression and discrimination, and other developmental traumas adapt to such unimaginable situations?

Reviews

Trauma and Madness in Mental Health Services offers a great deal of practical help for both practitioners and for those in emotional turmoil. In very concrete terms, Hunter offers chapters on what is helpful and what is not. (Bruce E. Levine, counterpunch.org, July 18, 2018) Noel Hunter's remarkable book sheds light on a new discourse around human suffering, while tying into a long history of approaches that have vacillated between attempts at categorization and an overarching view of distress on a continuum. ... 'Madness and Trauma' is an auspicious paragon for such an ambitious project, and thus a must-read for anyone looking for a way forward in this complex field. (Peter Stastny, Psychosis, Vol. 10 (04), 2018)
