Oddly, the flood never came. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe End of Trauma\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hopeful and humane, \u003ci\u003e The End of Trauma\u003c\/i\u003e overturns everything we thought we knew about how people respond to hardship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge A. Bonanno is professor of clinical psychology and director of the Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab at Teachers College, Columbia University.
