520    "The lasting effects of individual trauma are now widely 
       recognized. But what of the consequences of extreme trauma
       on an entire ethnic group? New research in neuroscience 
       and clinical psychology demonstrates that even when they 
       are hidden, trauma histories--from persecution and 
       deportation to the horrors of the Holocaust--leave 
       imprints on the minds and bodies of future generations. 
       Wounds Into Wisdom makes a compelling case that trauma 
       legacies can be transformed and healed. Fusing 
       contemporary neuroscience, psychology, and ancient Jewish 
       wisdom and values, this work provides a roadmap for Jews, 
       and all individuals and groups with trauma history, who 
       wish to seize the power to change their lives. Gripping 
       case studies and interviews with trauma survivors and 
       their descendants demonstrate what Viktor Frankl called, 
       "the uniquely human potential to transform personal 
       tragedy into triumph." From them we learn the many ways 
       that past trauma shapes the present--from the timid young 
       woman who discovers she has been repeating her lost 
       grandmother's exact words, to the Israeli war hero who has
       endured decades of terrifying nightmares. From these 
       moving testimonies Firestone distills seven principles, 
       rich in Jewish wisdom, that mark the way to new freedom. 
       Building on the work of acclaimed traumatologists such as 
       Drs. Rachel Yehuda, Bessel van der Kolk, and Yael Danieli,
       Firestone shows how people can transform the residual 
       effects of their families' painful pasts and change their 
       long-term futures. The book provides a template for people
       everywhere to emerge from the wreckage of their tragedies 
       and reshape their destinies. Relevant not only to the 
       tragic past, but to the world of turmoil and displacement 
       we live in today, Wounds into Wisdom is an essential book 
       for our times"--|cProvided by publisher.
