I was so excited and ready to be blown away by this author as I was in her first book Trauma and Recovery, and sadly this book lacks in some very important ways. It didn‘t culturally ground itself from the beginning, as in the perspectives are almost entirely American. It didn‘t cover gender violence from LGBTQ+ folks lived experiences. It doesn‘t cover trauma that comes FROM the criminal punishment system. Spends less times with stories too.

In her first book since the groundbreaking Trauma and Recovery, psychiatrist Judith Herman explores the failings of our justice system‘s response to sexual assault and domestic violence—sporadically punishing offenders but doing nothing to address survivors‘ needs. Here, Herman explores survivor testimonies, restorative & transformational justice approaches, legal and campus experiments, and more, in clear, accessible, and compassionate language.
