Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror | 
This is a really informative book about the history and research of trauma. However, being published in the 50s means it‘s extremely outdated in many ways. Particularly in the language that is used, and lacking much intersectionality when it comes to who is most impacted by trauma in systemic ways. I would recommend as a foundational text about trauma though!
Your $5 or $10 can mean a lot to survivors living with the effects/affects of trauma! Corporations are matching donations in the US. Consider survivors when deciding if and where to give today! Thanks! #GivingTuesday #supportsurvivors #everylittlebithelps

To this end, he marshals an impressive array of arguments, from the most blatant denial to the most sophisticated..
"It is very tempting to take the side of the perpetrator. All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing."
