The Whispering of Ghosts : Trauma and Resilience

One out of every two people will experience trauma, says psychiatrist Boris Cyrulnik, and one in ten will remain a prisoner of that suffering.

Why are some children permanently damaged by difficult childhoods, while others grow up into secure, creative, loving adults?

This book, based on, Dr. Cyrulnik's broad experience with victims of childhood distress, offers a message of hope for everyone concerned about the impact of deprivation and such traumatic events as separation, emotional or sexual abuse, and violence in the environment.
