He explores pathways for treatment that approach toxic stress so that caregivers are equipped to help their patients' minds and bodies recover from it ... Highly recommended.' R. E. Osborne, CHOICE, 'Wulsin's Toxic Stress is a tour de force. His writing style is refreshing and vivid, and his understanding of contemporary research is encyclopedic and up to date. This is a terrific book.' Joel E. Dimsdale, M.D., Editor-Emeritus, Psychosomatic Medicine, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, University of California, San Diego, 'The book's master stroke is weaving together copious peer-reviewed evidence from various modalities to make the case for a sea change in our healthcare culture surrounding prevention and management of stress-related chronic illness. Additionally, highlighting gaps and shortcomings in current medical knowledge and practice offers a rough roadmap for navigating said change - in no less than a multidisciplinary fashion.' Olivia Colombo, Doody's Reviews
