I, personally, had trouble with this book. It seemed disorganized and difficult to read. There was a great deal of repetition in the text--which contrary to re-emphasizing a point--didn't add much to the learning experience.

The book goes out of its way to depict children of trauma as being nearly unreachable without serious intervention on the part of the parent. I found much of the book far too extreme, relying on dominating and coercing a child rather than nurturing a child including some rather troubling restraint techniques.

I personally can't recommend this book.
