Title: Eastern methods for a Western World don't work in this book
Review: The author keeps referring to two groups of PTSD sufferers (soldiers and child abuse victims) as being different from other trauma. I agree with this, but the author doesn't address how those two groups can heal. I found the book to be worthless and I have read quite a few on PTSD to come to grips with my own childhood abuse. The author uses eastern methods such as meditation and physical consciousness. For many trauma victims this is a very scary and at times inaccessible means of healing trauma. Levine writes that remembering the traumas is not important, while most of medicine believes it is. The crux of the author's theory is this: trauma is stored energy that must be released. No memory can be released without remembering something about it. For sufferers of PTSD this book fails and is a disappointment.
