Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease

Author: Robert Scaer

The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, is the update of the classic book that explains the reasons behind some of the most common symptoms and conditions that previously defied a medical explanation. Respected author, Robert C. Scaer, MD, has diligently simplified the complex medical language that was used in the first edition to make it easier for lay readers and patients to understand—all without sacrificing accuracy. This valuable text presents a new theory of the neurophysiology of traumatic stress and dissociation and includes several updated chapters and new concepts that have been developed since the previous edition.

Human response is quite different than other animals' response to trauma. This response is discussed in detail in The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, including the fight/flight/freeze cycle and how the human response causes abnormal regulation of many body systems which then may lead to many illnesses or conditions. The emotional and physical experiences of patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and other syndromes such as whiplash are comprehensively examined. Patients and lay readers alike who have been told it is "all in your head" may well feel like this book was specifically written about them and the unexplained complex symptoms they experience.

Topics in The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, include:

• The role of the fight/flight/freeze response in traumatic stress
• The neurophysiology of traumatic stress and dissociation
• The Whiplash Syndrome as a model for procedural memory in trauma
• Analysis of traumatic repetition
• The theoretical concept of somatic dissociation
• The varied syndromes and medical diseases of trauma and dissociation
• A theoretical analysis or therapy for trauma
• Illustrative case histories of trauma and the body
• And more!

The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, is valuable information for physicians, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, nurses, and those lay people looking to better understand the physiologic rationale for a large number of perplexing chronic medical diseases and syndromes.

Reviewer: Philip Khoury, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This historically and biologically oriented presentation of trauma is written by a neurologist who is an expert on whiplash injury.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide evidence for a biological root for somatic and emotional consequences of traumatic stress. It is a timely subject, given recent events. The author largely achieves the goal.
Audience: The target audience includes professionals in the fields of rehabilitation and psychotherapy, patient care, and general medical practice. The book is not intended for lay people.
Features: Using the example of the whiplash victim, the author delineates the biological changes caused by trauma as the root of somatic sensations and alterations in mental status. What is best about the book is that it presents this evidence in a well organized and compelling style. There are few figures, which are of little pedagogic value. The index, concluding remarks at the end of each chapter, and a large endnote section are very useful.
Assessment: This is a well written presentation of the available evidence linking mental status to biological changes caused by trauma. However, this information is adequately covered in other sources, such as in the chapter on Stress and Psychiatry in Kaplan and Sadock's Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, 7th edition (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000). The book's usefulness would be much greater if the section on treatment was expanded.

What People Are Saying

REMARKABLE . . . provides clinically relevant descriptions of the mind/body dysfunctions of both the central and autonomic nervous systems of traumatized patients. Even more than a comprehensive overview, the author presents an integrated neuropsychobiological model of the underlying mechanisms of trauma pathology, which he demonstrates in numerous case histories and applies to various trauma therapies. A CREATIVE, CUTTING-EDGE WORK. (Allan N. Schore, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine)
