Extreme Trauma: October 7 as an Outlier in the Range of Human Potential

Countless words have described the horrific events of Oct. 7, 2023. Extreme Trauma takes a different tack. It is the only book to identify the "silver lining" – the incredible Israeli resilience – that emerged from that dark day. While squarely addressing the psychopathological issues of Hamas’s rape practices, Extreme Trauma dares to offer a message of hope – that through newfound unity, Israel and the Jewish people will survive and thrive. Readers say that while it's a hard book to read emotionally, it's hard to put down informatively. Extreme Trauma is endorsed by Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Diaspora Affairs. While dealing with the specific context and events surrounding the Oct. 7 attacks, the book offers compelling universal messages for all persons of conscience. The book has been updated with new content and contributors.
