Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door by Karen Gross
Call Number: 371.826 G914t 2020

ISBN: 9780807764107

Publication Date: 2020-06-30

This book explores how educational institutions have failed to recognize and effectively address the symptoms of trauma in students of all ages. Given the prevalence of traumatic events in our world, Gross argues that it is time for educational institutions and those who work within them to change their approaches and responses to traumatic symptoms that manifest in students in schools and colleges. These changes can alter how and what we teach, how we train teachers, how we structure our calendars and create our schedules, how we address student behavior and disciplinary issues, and how we design our physical space.

Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts.

The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited-that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations.

Call Number: 153.6 L562d 2001

ISBN: 9780060196387

Publication Date: 2001-08-21

Lerner focuses on the challenge and the importance of being able to express one's "authentic voice" in intimate relationships.

And yet giving voice to this self is at the center of having both a relationship and a self.
