Doctor James Gordon Knihy

A world-recognized authority and acclaimed mind-body medicine pioneer presents the first evidence-based program to reverse the psychological and biological damage caused by trauma. In his role as the founder and director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM), the worlds largest and most effective program for healing population-wide trauma, Harvard-trained psychiatrist James Gordon has taught a curriculum that has alleviated trauma to populations as diverse as refugees and survivors of war in Bosnia, Kosovo, Israel, Gaza, and Syria, as well as Native Americans on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, New York city firefighters and their families, and members of the U. S. military. Dr. Gordon and his team have also used their work to help middle class professionals, stay-at-home mothers, inner city children of color, White House officials, medical students, and people struggling with severe emotional and physical illnesses. The Transformation represents the culmination of Dr. Gordon's fifty years as a mind-body medicine pioneer and an advocate of integrative approaches to overcoming psychological trauma and stress. Offering inspirational stories, eye-opening research, and innovative prescriptive support, The Transformation makes accessible for the first time the methods that Dr. Gordon--with the help of his faculty of 160, and 6,000 trained clinicians, educators, and community leaders--has developed and used to relieve the suffering of hundreds of thousands of adults and children around the world

"All of us have been living in the chaotic time and place of trauma an endangered borderland between the world we once knew and an uncertain future ... transforming trauma shows us how to recognize and resolve the difficulties and disturbances we're facing. As we follow its healing path, we will also discover that meeting these challenges opens the way to new, life-affirming ways of thinking, being, and acting ... The lessons that trauma teaches can make us more healthy, whole, wiser and stronger than we've ever been, kinder and more committed to creating a world in which we care for ourselves and love one another"--Back cover, adapted from preface
