Honestly I'm very mixed about this book. On one hand, I found the descriptions and dissecting of trauma clear and illuminating. On the other hand, I think he really needn't have gone into such vivid detail of some some of his patients, and I think this book should be given VERY strong trigger warning. Furthermore, I appreciate the scientific studies the author provides for many of the treatments, however others he describes are only supported by his own anecdotal evidence, and haven't been scientifically supported at all. He also has a very strong ego and anyone who disagrees with him is portrayed as corrupt or misguided, which is always a red flag.
