Abstract

Betsy de Thierry’s name is well known in complex/developmental trauma circles. She’s written a number of prominent books on attachment, trauma, and related ideas, and so I was excited to have the opportunity to review her most recent publication. Given her previous books, and the ever-expanding range of publications, YouTube videos, blogs and vlogs about trauma (by de Thierry herself and many others), I wondered what new content or insights might await me in this book.
