Editorial Review:
The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, Second Edition is the update of the classic book that explains the reasons behind some of the most common symptoms and conditions that previously defied a medical explanation. Respected author, Robert C. Scaer, MD, has diligently simplified the complex medical language that was used in the first edition to make it easier for lay readers and patients to understand—all without sacrificing accuracy. This valuable text presents a new theory of the neurophysiology of traumatic stress and dissociation and includes several updated chapters and new concepts that have been developed since the previous edition.

Rating:  - Should be in the library of healthcare providers
I like the first edition and this edition is even better!
I work in OB and have seen so many people who have been traumatized by the birth experience- both patients and healthcare givers alike.
I speak on "When Birth Causes Trauma" alot and this is one of the books that I refer my audience to.
This book should be in the library of everyone who deals with patients who have had a traumatic experience and any healthcare giver who has had a traumatic experience. ... Read More
Rating: - The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease
I have been studying and working with trauma for over 15 years. This is the
best book to this date which describes the neurological, emotional, and
therapeutic indices of working in this field.

Rating: - The body does bear the burden
When a thoughtful individual takes the time to summarize 30 years of experience, I view this as a great gift. When his insights allow us to help in treatment, it is a blessing. His major thesis is that trauma, when it produces a chronic stress disorder, can manifest in peculair physical ways. This is the key insight and Dr. Scaer backs his observations with lots of clinical and research data. No doubt some will find this a rigorous read, but it is well worth the effort. I had the opportunity to try ... Read More
Rating:  - Remember That College Textbook You Just Hated?
I started out as a lit major, then switched to linguistics. I worked three years as a medical transcriptionist. I've never had trouble reading anything. But this book is so full of fourteen-letter words, acronyms, and other jargon, it's just plain unpleasant to read.
The information is sound, and definitely interesting. But if you just want to understand the physiology of trauma, read the first section of Levine's "Waking The Tiger" instead (the rest of the book is rhetoric); it's a ... Read More
Rating: - Explains PTSD Like Nothing Else
Here finally is the neurological basis for the weirdly persistent, highly distressing, ever-cycling symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Don't let the medical terminology stop you from reading this book. It's a stunning revelation to see how physiologically based this syndrome really is, rooted as it is in the survival imperative of the freeze response and it's cognitive partner, dissociation. Makes those diagnostic categories which most of us therapists got trained on pretty irrelevant! I leaned heavily ... Read More
