The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk

Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

The first chapter described a Vietnam war veteran as “traumatized and violated” because he murdered and raped Vietnamese children and women. Using trauma to type abusers, rapists, and murderers as victims is frankly disgusting and vile. 

This is a racist, awful and disturbing book.
