    The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

    by testsuphomeAdmin
    The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk is a groundbreaking book that explores the deep connection between trauma, the brain, and the body. Drawing on years of research and clinical experience, van der Kolk shows how trauma reshapes both mind and body, and offers transformative insights into healing through therapies like mindfulness, yoga, and neurofeedback. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand trauma and its effects, this book is both informative and deeply compassionate.

    You are being pro­vid­ed with a book chap­ter by chap­ter. I will request you to read the book for me after each chap­ter. After read­ing the chap­ter, 1. short­en the chap­ter to no less than 300 words and no more than 400 words. 2. Do not change the name, address, or any impor­tant nouns in the chap­ter. 3. Do not trans­late the orig­i­nal lan­guage. 4. Keep the same style as the orig­i­nal chap­ter, keep it con­sis­tent through­out the chap­ter. Your reply must com­ply with all four require­ments, or it’s invalid.

    APPENDIX
    CONSENSUS PROPOSED CRITERIA
    FOR DEVELOPMENTAL TRAUMA
    DISORDER
    The goal of intro­duc­ing the diag­no­sis of Devel­op­men­tal Trau­ma Dis­or­der is
    to cap­ture the real­i­ty of the clin­i­cal pre­sen­ta­tions of chil­dren and
    ado­les­cents exposed to chron­ic inter­per­son­al trau­ma and there­by guide
    clin­i­cians to devel­op and uti­lize effec­tive inter­ven­tions and for researchers
    to study the neu­ro­bi­ol­o­gy and trans­mis­sion of chron­ic inter­per­son­al
    vio­lence. Whether or not they exhib­it symp­toms of PTSD, chil­dren who
    have devel­oped in the con­text of ongo­ing dan­ger, mal­treat­ment, and
    inad­e­quate care­giv­ing sys­tems are ill-served by the cur­rent diag­nos­tic
    sys­tem, as it fre­quent­ly leads to no diag­no­sis, mul­ti­ple unre­lat­ed diag­noses,
    an empha­sis on behav­ioral con­trol with­out recog­ni­tion of inter­per­son­al
    trau­ma and lack of safe­ty in the eti­ol­o­gy of symp­toms, and a lack of
    atten­tion to ame­lio­rat­ing the devel­op­men­tal dis­rup­tions that under­lie the
    symp­toms.
    The Con­sen­sus Pro­posed Cri­te­ria for Devel­op­men­tal Trau­ma Dis­or­der
    were devised and put for­ward in Feb­ru­ary 2009 by a Nation­al Child
    Trau­mat­ic Stress Net­work (NCTSN)-affiliated Task Force led by Bessel A.
    van der Kolk, MD and Robert S. Pynoos, MD, with the par­tic­i­pa­tion of
    Dante Cic­chet­ti, PhD, Mary­lene Cloitre, PhD, Wendy D’Andrea, PhD,
    Julian D. Ford, PhD, Ali­cia F. Lieber­man, PhD, Frank W. Put­nam, MD,
    Glenn Saxe, MD, Joseph Spinaz­zo­la, PhD, Bradley C. Stol­bach, PhD, and
    Mar­tin Teich­er, MD, PhD. The con­sen­sus pro­posed cri­te­ria are based on
    exten­sive review of empir­i­cal lit­er­a­ture, expert clin­i­cal wis­dom, sur­veys of
    NCTSN clin­i­cians, and pre­lim­i­nary analy­sis of data from thou­sands of
    chil­dren in numer­ous clin­i­cal and child ser­vice sys­tem set­tings, includ­ing
    NCTSN treat­ment cen­ters, state child wel­fare sys­tems, inpa­tient psy­chi­atric
    set­tings, and juve­nile deten­tion cen­ters. Because their valid­i­ty, preva­lence,
    symp­tom thresh­olds, or clin­i­cal util­i­ty have yet to be exam­ined through
    prospec­tive data col­lec­tion or analy­sis, these pro­posed cri­te­ria should not be
    viewed as a for­mal diag­nos­tic cat­e­go­ry to be incor­po­rat­ed into the DSM as
    writ­ten here. Rather, they are intend­ed to describe the most clin­i­cal­ly
    sig­nif­i­cant symp­toms exhib­it­ed by many chil­dren and ado­les­cents fol­low­ing
    com­plex trau­ma. These pro­posed cri­te­ria have guid­ed the Devel­op­men­tal
    Trau­ma Dis­or­der field tri­als that began in 2009 and con­tin­ue to this day.
    CONSENSUS PROPOSED CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENTAL TRAUMA DISORDER
    A. Expo­sure. The child or ado­les­cent has expe­ri­enced or wit­nessed
