Dutch-American · b. 1943
Bessel van der Kolk has spent five decades treating and researching trauma, from Vietnam veterans at the Boston VA — before PTSD was an official diagnosis — to founding the Trauma Center in Massachusetts. The Body Keeps the Score, his synthesis of neuroscience and clinical practice, became an unlikely multi-year #1 bestseller and changed how the public understands trauma.
