Many people in society today battle with trauma, knowingly or unknowingly. Some even misinterpret the meaning of trauma. Some do not know what trauma means or its possible effects. Luckily enough, this book explains the concept of trauma, its effects, and all it entails. In the book Traumatization and Its Aftermath by Antonieta Contreras, the author, through detailed research, untangles the intricacies surrounding trauma and distinguishes between the causes and effects while emphasizing the need to differentiate between external and internal factors. Common misinterpretations and misconceptions were explained, and the author highlights the confusion surrounding the term 'trauma' and aims to bring clarity by exploring the various facets of traumatization.
 
I liked how this book broadened my knowledge of the concept of trauma. Once I started reading this book, I discovered that my previous knowledge on the subject was just vague and based on what I saw in movies. This book helped correct the misconceptions about trauma and gave a deeper understanding of it. For instance, I never knew that different parts of the brain played different roles when it came to trauma, but after reading this book, I am aware of this now.
 
This book was well-researched. Just by reading through it, one can see how much work the author put into it. There are references at the end of each chapter, and these helped authenticate the work. The only downside of this book is that it seemed complex. Some readers may not easily grasp some of the concepts in this book because of its complexity. However, this only shows how versed the author is in the topic. The author tried to make some of the concepts easier to understand by sharing real-life stories.
 
This book deserves a full rating, so I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The minor drawback is not enough to affect the overall rating of the book. This book was exceptionally edited and void of any forms of error. I recommend it to people who want to understand how trauma works and how it affects the brain. I also recommend it to anyone who wants to go into the science of psychology. This book will help them a lot.

Nice piece.

I have been learning about trauma intentionally for a couple of years now. Your review reminded me what it is like to start from a point of, "what the heck does this mean," and gradually build up familiarity with this human problem which is so prevalent in today's world.
