Neuropsychosocial Integration: A Practical Approach to Discharging Trauma and Recovering the Authentic Self explores the incidence of psychosocial trauma in ordinary life as it persists across generations. From the Latin word to make "whole," integration speaks to wholesomeness in the body and mind and authenticity in the self that is presented to the world. A manifestation of psychosocial trauma, thus, is disintegration in the self and in between the body and mind that brings suffering. A suffering that, the book argues, can be met with a quiver of metaphorical spears with which integration can be recovered along with authenticity in the self and wellbeing in the body and mind.

The book is written for a diverse audience, as it speaks to the experience of two thirds of us who come to ordinary life having been exposed in some way to adverse lived experiences and protracted psychosocial stress that leave us wounded, and the seventy-five percent of us who respond well to therapy through which we recover from our woundedness and lead more fulfilling lives. This scope holds a specific appeal for graduate-student trauma researchers, therapists, clinicians, as well as lay individuals exploring their own traumas.
