Wild is on my list, everyone seems to love it. Since I didn't like her advice columns a lot we shall see. (Lots of holds!)

Thanks for the recs!!

Books ABOUT Regeneration are always better than the actual book itself - the history of the development of our understanding of traumatic stress disorder is really fascinating, and the history of psychology overall.
