> What I've heard about the book is that it's not supported by the science. At least in the popular press I've seen positive coverage of the book claim that van der Kolk argues your mind can forget trauma and you can work from data from your body to recover information about forgotten trauma. A lot of this was from his earlier work (that I believe he distanced himself from as the evidence showed it to be incorrect) that wound up in courtrooms as recovered memories. This book is totally different and from a different era of his research.
