Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It

A Journey Toward Understanding, Active Treatment, and Societal Prevention of Trauma

Imagine, if you will, a disease—one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should view trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.

In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make, both as individuals and as a society, to alleviate trauma’s effects and prevent further traumatization in the future. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable illness is both treatable and preventable.
