Seasoned clinicians Larry Heller and Aline LaPierre weave a rich and coherent synthesis of childhood development in the pioneering tradition of Wilhelm Reich, Erik Erikson, and Alexander Lowen. This well-organized, valuable book offers easy-to-understand tools for all of us who are seeking a better understanding of our fundamental conflicts between oneness and separateness, dependence and autonomy. <i><i>Healing Developmental Trauma</i></i>provides clear guidance to help us hold, with knowledge and self-compassion, those seemingly irreconcilable opposites and is a vital and accessible map supporting emotional maturity and psycho-spiritual growth.<br /> Peter A Levine, PhD, author of <i>In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness</i> and <i>Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma</i><br /><br />Laurence Heller, PhD and Aline LaPierre, PsyD's <i>Healing Developmental Trauma</i> provides a method that blends bottom-up and top-down approaches to regulating the nervous system, and provides the NeuroAffective Relational Model which focuses on maximizing client strengths and resiliency to integrate physical and emotional connections in the body.<br /> <i>Midwest Book Review</i><br /> <br />
