This book equips healthcare professionals with insights into how childhood violence affects long-term physical and mental health. Through ten chapters grounded in neuropsychological research, it explores trauma's impact on behavior, relationships, and well-being.

Aimed at improving treatment for survivors, the book encourages practitioners to understand patient histories and offer compassionate, effective support to a frequently encountered, yet often misunderstood, population.
