*Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice* is Judith Herman's follow-up to her foundational work, *Trauma and Recovery* (1992). In this book, Herman, drawing on her expertise in working with survivors of sexual abuse, introduces a fourth stage of trauma recovery: justice. This stage emphasizes the social nature of trauma and the importance of addressing systemic injustices, particularly in the legal and criminal justice systems, which often fail to support victims effectively. Herman argues that sexual abuse is a result of tyrannical systems like patriarchy, and thus, recovery must involve social justice. She explores the concept of a "moral community," where trust and mutuality are essential for healing, and critiques the psychiatric profession's focus on neurobiological explanations of trauma. The book is a timely response to the growing interest in somatic treatments and the need to recognize the social dimensions of trauma.*Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice* is Judith Herman's follow-up to her foundational work, *Trauma and Recovery* (1992).
