This one's a goodie! February 26, 2008
BBKF (Brighton, UK)
I have many books on trauma and attachment theory but most are dry, although still quite interesting, given the nature of the topic. This is the first that I've come across that has a balance of academic tone with plain good 'can't put it down' type engagement in it's style. It's not meant to be an academic text but still manages to educate very well.
I usually avoid sensationalist titles like the one this book has, but don't let that put you off (if you go for a more 'dry' type of book) as this is very well constructed.
Bruce Perry is very well respected in his field and beyond. I admire him for writing such an honest reflection on his own practice and enabling us to have a glimpse into some very troubled lives but always with the hope of building resilience and strengths.
Trauma and its effect on the developing brain. March 29, 2007

I've read a lot by Bruce D. Perry over the years in terms of trauma and its effect on the child's developing brain. In this, his latest book, "The boy who was raised as a dog", Dr. Perry takes the reader by the hand and leads him through his own developing understanding of what trauma really is and how we can treat those suffering from it. As such, the book is a kind of synopsis of what Dr. Perry has written so far.
On this journey the reader learns about how the brain develops, when the child's brain has its sensitive/critical periods in terms of skills the child has to learn, what can go wrong and last but not least, how those of us working with traumatized children and adolescents can optimize our interventions through knowledge of the brain. Dr. Perry does this in a warm, matter of fact manner withour either inappropriate dramatization or sentimentalism.
I warmly encourage everyone interested in trauma and its effects to read this informative and well-written book.
