The Other Side of Sadness

The End of Trauma

How the New Science of Resilience Is Changing How We Think About PTSD

George A. Bonanno

A top expert on human trauma argues that we vastly overestimate how common PTSD is and fail to recognize how resilient people really are “An important course-correction to what is now received wisdom about trauma and how to treat it.” ―Wall Street Journal 9/11, mental health professionals flocked to New York to handle what everyone assumed would be a flood of trauma cases. Oddly, the flood never came. In The End of Trauma, pioneering psychologist George A. Bonanno argues that we failed to predict the psychological response to 9/11 because most of what we understand about trauma is wrong. For starters, it’s not nearly as common as we think. In fact, people are overwhelmingly resilient to adversity. What we often interpret as PTSD are signs of a natural process of learning how to deal with a specific situation. We can cope far more effectively if we understand how this process works. Drawing on four decades of research, Bonanno explains what makes us resilient, why we sometimes aren’t, and how we can better handle traumatic stress. Hopeful and humane, The End of Trauma overturns everything we thought we knew about how people respond to hardship.

The Other Side of Sadness

What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss

George A. Bonanno

A renowned psychologist reveals the power of human resilience in dealing with grief and loss The conventional view of grieving--encapsulated by the famous five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance--is defined by a mourning process that we can only hope to accept and endure. In The Other Side of Sadness, psychologist and emotions expert George Bonanno argues otherwise. Mourning is far from predictable, and all of us share a surprising ability to be resilient. Our inborn emotions--anger and denial, but also relief and joy--help us deal effectively with loss. To expect or require only grief-stricken behavior from the bereaved does them harm. In fact, grieving goes beyond mere sadness, and it can actually deepen interpersonal connections and even lead to a new sense of meaning in life. The Other Side of Sadness is a must-read for those going through the death of a loved one, mental health professionals, readers interested in neuroscience and positive psychology, and anyone eager to understand our ability to thrive in the face of adversity.

★美國心理學會協會最高榮譽卡特爾獎得主、國際正向心理學協會傑出學者最新力作★ 濃縮哥倫比亞大學臨床心理學教授40年研究精華 顛覆你我對創傷的認知，打造全新的應對系統 治療創傷的這條路中，多虧這本作品的重大修正， 你我才能往更好的方向繼續邁進。──《華爾街日報》 傑德出了車禍，左腿完全被輾碎，只好全腿截肢。 瑪倫從馬背上跌落，胸椎多處損傷，在床上躺了九周。 保羅半夜遭人從背後襲擊，傷勢並不嚴重，卻從此不敢出門。 所有人都預期創傷大舉入侵，成為擊倒他們的最後一根稻草。 但奇怪的是，這人人聞之色變的敵軍卻從未出現。 經歷過那麼恐怖的意外，他們怎麼還能好好的？ 發生了那麼可怕的事情，他們如何擺脫一切繼續生活？ 是什麼造就了他們的心理韌性？ 原來，關於「創傷」這件事，我們一直都錯了！ 喬治‧波南諾既是復原力研究領域的先驅學者，也是哥倫比亞大學「失落、創傷和情感實驗室」負責人。他認為，創傷後壓力症候群（PTSD）並不如一般以為的常見，充滿創傷的經驗並不一定會造成永久性的損傷。這錯誤的認知與觀念，導致我們從未好好認識自己真正的適應能力。 在本書中，波南諾將結合精彩的真實故事、科學實證的研究結果，公開他40年來針對創傷的研究，為你我解惑： ● 是什麼讓人們擁有復原力？ ● 為什麼有時候我們缺乏復原力？ ● 我們該如何好好處理創傷性壓力？ ● 我們該如何積極應對壓力源？ ● 遇上艱困情境，該如何善加運用自身的資源、特質、優勢？ 為何生活拋來最難的挑戰時，我們都能吸收、適應並做出對策？都能化阻礙為邁向成長的階梯？難道只要擁有心理韌性，就能無往不利嗎？ 不，你需要先有彈性心態，更能面對壓力，才能打造通往心理韌性的大道。許多臨床研究已證實，人類具有高度心理韌性，卻仍有極大的未解謎團。與其強調如何復原，我們更應該學習發揮與生俱來的本能，彈性變通。 這本充滿希望和人性故事的作品，將顛覆應對困難的一般認知。其實你我，都有能力終結創傷。 「人類始終都有足夠的心理韌性去應付任何想像得到的困境。 但世界上沒有所謂的『萬靈丹』，也沒有哪套方法能適用於所有人。我們得瞭解發生的事、調整自身行為、隨時確認效果並轉換策略。 生活不會一成不變，隨機應變才是因應之道。」──喬治‧波南諾 作者簡介 喬治‧波南諾（George A. Bonanno） 耶魯大學臨床心理學博士。哥倫比亞大學教育學院臨床心理學教授。在失落與創傷研究中，發展出和「悲傷五階段」全然不同的理論，率先提出復原力的概念，現已成為臨床心理學家的標準範式。 曾跟隨創傷研究領域的世界級頂尖專家馬蒂・霍洛維茨（Mardi Horowitz）擔任3年的博士後研究員，指導關於喪親之痛的大規模縱向研究。正是這項研究首次揭示人類在面臨嚴峻逆境時的韌性，激勵他進一步記錄和理解人類的韌性。 他在哥倫比亞大學開設「失落、創傷和情感實驗室」，研究極端逆境和復原力。多年來記錄並探索了恐怖攻擊、軍事作戰、外傷、危及生命的醫療事件、自然災害、疾病、離婚和失業等事件後人類的復原力。該實驗室還展開新研究，將彈性心態視為人類復原力的關鍵。 因許多開創性研究而享譽國際。2019 年榮獲美國心理學會卡特爾獎，表彰他一生在應用心理學研究方面取得重大知識成就並影響整個社會。同年還榮獲國際正向心理學協會頒發傑出學者獎，表彰他透過研究或實踐，對特定領域的知識進步有了最重大的貢獻。近年更獲得全球引文資料庫Web of Science評為「世界上被引用次數最多的前1%科學家」之一。 發表過數百篇經同儕審查的科學文章，其中許多文章發表在《自然》（Nature）、《美國醫學會雜誌》（JAMA）等頂尖期刊。也可以在《紐約時報》（The New York Times）、《華爾街日報》（The Wall Street Journal）、《科學美國人》（Scientific American）、美國國家公共廣播電台（NPR）、美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）等平台看到他的研究。 他與實驗室成員們持續追求關於創傷、逆境和人類復原力的新想法。有空的時候，他還是位狂熱的畫家。另著有《悲傷的另一面》（The Other Side of Sadness）。現與家人住在紐約。 譯者簡介 邱思華 畢業於國立台灣大學心理系、國立成功大學行為醫學研究所，持有國家高考臨床心理師證照，專長為沙遊治療、表達性藝術治療。目前從事心理師、譯者與插畫工作。不擅長說話，最喜歡跟貓一起窩在家裡寫寫畫畫，偶而旅行聽聽大自然的聲音。 garagarabi@gmail.com

The Year of Magical Thinking

National Book Award Winner

Joan Didion

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • A landmark work about grief, love, and survival from one of America’s most iconic writers One of The New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of The Guardian’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Joan Didion delivers a searing portrait of a marriage and a life – in good times and bad – that will speak to anyone who has ever loved and lost a husband or wife or child. In a work of electric honesty and passion, Didion explores how we all, somehow, will ourselves to survive. “An utterly shattering portrait of loss and grief.” –The New York Times Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana Roo, fall ill with septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later, the Dunnes were sitting down to dinner after visiting their daughter in the hospital when John suffered a fatal heart attack. In that one moment, their partnership of forty years came to an end. This powerful narrative is Didion's “attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness…about marriage and children and memory…about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.” “Didion has transformed grief into literature.” —The Guardian

Tuesdays with Morrie

An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson, 25th Anniversary Edition

Mitch Albom

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was his college professor Morrie Schwartz. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Jean-Dominique Bauby

A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.

The Other Side of Normal

How Biology Is Providing the Clues to Unlock the Secrets of Normal and Abnormal Behavior

Jordan Smoller

A Harvard psychiatrist uses biology, genetics, psychology, and advances in molecular neuroscience and neuroimaging to examine what it means to be normal. "Move over Oliver Sacks—I couldn't put this fascinating book down! Path-breaking and witty, as entertaining as it is informative, The Other Side of Normal is filled with insights into why we behave as we do and how biology determines so much of our emotional makeup." —Amy Chua, Yale Law Professor and New York Times–bestselling author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother Psychiatry has ignored the normal. The focus on defining abnormal behavior has obscured what turns out to be a more fundamental question—how does the biology of the brain give rise to the mind, which in turn gives rise to everything we care about: thoughts, feelings, desires, and relationships? In The Other Side of Normal, Harvard psychiatrist Jordan Smoller shows us that understanding what the mind was designed to do in the first place demystifies mental illness and builds a new foundation for defining psychiatric disorders—from autism to depression. Smoller argues there are no bright lines between normal and abnormal. Psychiatric disorders are variations of the same brain systems that evolved to help us solve the challenges of everyday life. Smoller explains where our personalities come from and how the temperaments we had as infants actually stay with us into adulthood. Why do we choose to date, love, and marry the people we do? Why do some of us form healthy relationships while others form unstable ones? Based on the author's groundbreaking research and personal experiences treating psychological disorders, The Other Side of Normal changes the way we think about the human condition. "Exciting . . . provocative . . . Clearly and articulately, he ties evolutionary psychology, biological psychiatry, animal behavior, and related fields into a package of rare coherence." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Highly interesting and accessible study of brain science and behavior. . . . This thoroughly documented work provides enough information to satisfy the science-savvy without leaving the rest of us behind. . . . Readers will be fascinated." — Library Journal "An informative overview of research in neuroscience that provides a scientific foundation for understanding mental disorders." — Kirkus Reviews
