In 1976 twenty–six California children were kidnapped from their school bus and buried alive for motives never explained. All the children survived. This bizarre event signaled the beginning of Lenore Terr’s landmark study on the effect of trauma on children. In this book Terr shows how trauma has affected not only the children she’s treated but all of us. Impressive and interesting! | Customer Rating: | | This is easily one of the best books on childhood trauma out there. I have read it cover-to-cover twice. It offers a comprehensive and illuminating explanation of how trauma affects children, and it is written in an interesting and engaging style. I highly, highly recommend this book! | Interesting, readable, but problematic | Customer Rating: | | I enjoyed reading this book, but I also had problems with it. Most of the information comes out of the author's own experience working with children who had experienced what she describes as psychic trauma. Primarily her subjects are the children of the Chowchilla kidnapping that took place in 1976, but there are other children that she refers to as well. While her work is important and interesting, it is certainly not the last word in trauma research. I was particularly distressed by her tendency to dismiss and invalidate the children themselves while imposing her own interpretations of their experiences on the very children she was researching. Questioning a child's ability to remember their own reality is very problematic for me, and stating as a fact a great many things that she does not document made me wonder what on earth her agenda was. She tended to alienate her subjects with her inability to believe the things they shared with her in trust and confidence, and I suspect that she lost a great deal of valuable understanding in the process. As I said, I enjoyed reading the book and I'm sure it will be a valuable addition to my reference shelf, but I do take issue with her bias and her own interpretations of experience she herself did not face. It is for this reason that I will keep her nearby as I continue my own research and understanding of trauma and recovery. | ONE OF THE TEN MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS EVER WRITTEN ! | Customer Rating: | | Too Scared to Cry is one of the ten most important books ever written. This statement is not based on a naiive understanding of what is important in the world and what isn't important. This book and the information contained within is very, very important. If we are to heal Planet Earth and evolve as a species we must confront the truth of what has happened and what is happening right now on the Planet. If the truth is not confronted soon and dealt with the consequences will be catastrophic. To evolve as a species we must solve the problems of abuse of power and violence. It is not a sustainable reality to have a world where violence is tolerated and fostered through ignorance. Ignorance, Lies and Deceit lead to disconnection, destruction, violence and evil. Ignorance is never bliss ! We must all try and become more aware of Ourselves, our Planet and our Universe if we are to evolve as a species. I hope other interested human beings read this review and that it sparks their interest about this book. Live well. P.S. One of the other most important books of all time is " The Breakdown of the Bi-Cameral Mind and the Evolution of Conciousness " by Julian Jaynes. See my review at the Amazon Bookstore.
