Synopses

The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma

Exploring the effects of trauma on sufferers, their families and future generations, this book considers how traumatic stress can shape lives over time. Written by a specialist in the field, it outlines a treatment perspective that looks beyond standard talking and drug therapies, turning instead to approaches intended to support recovery across mind, brain and body.

In Stitches: The Highs and Lows of Life as an A&E Doctor

Nick Edwards, an A&E doctor in the UK and supporter of the NHS, chronicles the strain of frontline work against a backdrop of reforms, political correctness, and the fallout from binge drinking and fighting. Started as a way to keep morale up by setting down his feelings, the narrative ranges from cardiac arrests and car accidents to the everyday misunderstandings that bring patients through A&E doors.

By turns funny, heartbreaking and infuriating, it offers a direct account of what life can be like at the sharp end of the NHS. Suitable for readers interested in trauma, mental health and first-hand medical memoir.
