The Body Remembers, Volume 2: Revolutionizing Trauma Treatment continues the discussion begun more than fifteen years ago with the publication of the best-selling and beloved The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment. This new book is grounded in the belief that the most important goal for any trauma treatment is to improve the quality of life of the client. Therefore, the first prerequisite is that the client be reliably stable and feel safe in his or her daily life as well as the therapy situation. To accomplish this, Babette Rothschild empowers both therapists and clients by expanding trauma treatment options. For clients who prefer not to review memories, or are unable to do so safely, new and expanded strategies and principles for trauma recovery are presented. And for those who wish to avail themselves of more typical trauma memory work, tools to make trauma memory resolution even safer are included. Being able to monitor and modulate a trauma client's dysregulated nervous system is one of the practitioner's best lines of defence against traumatic hyperarousal going amok-risking such consequences as dissociation and decompensation. Rothschild clarifies and simplifies autonomic nervous system (ANS) understanding and observation with her creation of an original full colour table that distinguishes six levels of arousal. Included in this table (and the discussion that accompanies it) is a new and essential distinction between trauma-induced hypoarousal and the low arousal that is caused by lethargy or depression. Combining an authoritative yet personal voice, Rothschild gives clinicians the space to recognise where they may have made mistakes-by sharing her own!-as well as a road map towards more effective practice in the future. This book is absolutely essential reading for anyone working with those who have experienced trauma. The full colour ANS table is also available from W.W. Norton as a laminated desk reference and a wall poster suitable for framing so this valuable therapeutic tool will always be at hand.

This book will be of interest to those in the book trade, either publishers or booksellers, and all those concerned with the future of publishing in both the U.S. and Britain. Several chapters deal specifically with "The American Scene" and with "Bookselling in the USA". Among the contributors are: Gerald Howard, formerly with New American Library and Penguin USA, and now at W.W. Norton; Tim Rix, former Chairman of Longman; Nigel Newton of Bloomsbury; Lennie Goodings from Virago; lan Chapman of Pan Macmillan; Dan Franklin of Secker & Warburg; and Tim Waterstone from the Waterstone chain.

Robinson Crusoe blåser av farens påstand om at han bør være fornøyd med sin beskjedne plass i samfunnet. Han rømmer hjemmefra i håp om å tjene seg rik, men veien til lykke og velstand skal vise seg å bli en tornefull affære. Snart kommer første advarsel fra Gud i form av en voldsom storm til sjøs. Da Crusoe til alt hell overlever denne, kommer andre advarsel hvor han blir tatt til fange og solgt som slave. Han frigis, tjener seg snart rik på en plantasje i det frodige Brasil. Da han så velger å investere deler av sin velstand i slavehandel, kommer tredje advarsel i form av et tragisk forlis. Robinson Crusoe er den eneste som overlever og redder seg med nød og neppe i land på det som skal vise seg å være en ubebodd og faretruende øy. Robinson Crusoe regnes i dag som verdenslitteraturens første realistiske roman, en nyvin.ning som ikke bare gjorde Daniel Defoe verdensberømt, men som også skapte «robinsonaden» som fortellergrep, en viktig inspirasjon for bl.a. Jonathan Swift, Robert Louis Stevenson og Jules Verne. For dagens lesere er boken en viktig påminnelse om vårt sårbare livsgrunnlag. Kanskje er Robinson Crusoe ganske enkelt en kulturhistorisk nødvendighetsartikkel, eller et kildeskrift om vår sivilisasjon, som vi ustanselig må vende tilbake til for å hente inspirasjon til diskusjonen om oss selv og vår egen samtid og fremtid. Første komplette utgave på norsk.
