Part professional memoir, part advocacy apple crate pitch, part self-promo, this engaging book by paediatrician Nadine Burke Harris chronicles her work in linking science around developmental trauma and lifelong health outcomes with applied practice as a doctor and health professional. It's a must read for any health professional, regardless of your familiarity with ACEs or the physiology of the stress response.
Burke-Harris' occasional venture into that tenor of self promotion common to American entrepreneurism is not too invasive and can be seen as a creature of the environment she campaigned within.
