Human Development and Trauma: How Childhood Shapes Us into Who We Are as Adults

By Darius Cikanavicius (Author), Jacqueline Peressini (Editor), Daniel Mackler (Foreword) (2018)

From Amazin.com: “From the About the Book section: The focus of this book is human psychological development. The book’s goal is to explore how our early emotional and social environment influences us and what problems and advantages we develop as adults as the result of it. … This book is intended for people interested in the subjects of childrearing, childhood trauma, and the consequences of childhood adversity. It is for all who wish to better understand themselves and their society.

From the Foreword: What makes this book special is that it is healthy. Darius Cikanavicius offers the reader a compassionate and trauma-informed study of childhood from the perspective of the child, and not, as is the case with the far majority of psychology books, from the perspective of the parent. This is key, because any book that addresses childhood trauma and is really worth its weight must sensitively yet determinedly take the child’s side. … For this reason I consider anyone who gets their hands on this book fortunate indeed. 
— Daniel Mackler, LCSW”

Psychological Trauma: Healing Its Roots in Brain, Body and Memory

By Dawson Church, PhD, CEHP (2016) From Amazon.com: “Psychological trauma is among the most devastating of conditions. Though classified as a mental health disorder, it affects the body at the most fundamental levels. This monograph traces the physiological roots of posttraumatic stress disorder in the body’s many systems: The brain, the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system, and the many organs they control. It weaves together the most current research from many different scientific fields. These include: • Epigenetics • Neuropsychology • Developmental Psychology • Evolutionary Biology • Immunology • Polyvagal theory • Biofeedback • Energy Psychology • Epidemiology • Memory Reconsolidation. This up-to-date review of the science shows how when we are traumatized, especially at an early age, changes occur deep in the brain. These are reinforced by neural plasticity, our brain’s ability to rapidly add new synaptic connections. Over time, these intensify the symptoms of PTSD, often leading to disabling personal limitations. This monograph also reviews the evidence from the new field of memory reconsolidation. This shows that under very specific conditions, fear-based memories may be revised by the brain. The new therapies emerging in the field of energy psychology, especially EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), are able to quickly neutralize traumatic emotions. This monograph explains the physiological mechanisms behind the efficacy of these novel therapies. Besides discussing several key clinical trials showing rehabilitation of over 80% of PTSD sufferers, it contains many case histories of veterans and others who have made full recoveries using EFT. It is a unique resource for scholars, therapists, physicians and journalists, as well as patients who wish to understand the underlying physiology of stress.”
