Damaged
Childhood Trauma, Adult Illness, and the Need for a Health Care Revolution
La description
Through an honest retelling of interactions between a dedicated psychiatrist and his most challenging patient, Isaac, Damaged makes the inspiring case that health care would be both more compassionate and more effective if its practitioners acknowledged the role of trauma in the lives of patients. Above all, it recognizes the need for change in our medical system and urges those who know, love, and treat people like Isaac to be kind, to be empathetic, and to take action.
