Creating Sanctuary is a description of a hospital-based program to treat adults who had been abused as children and the revolutionary knowledge about trauma and adversity that the program was based upon. This book focuses on the biological, psychological, and social aspects of trauma. Fifteen years later, Dr. Sandra Bloom has updated this classic work to include the groundbreaking Adverse Childhood Experiences Study that came out in 1998, information about Epigenetics, and new material about what we know about the brain and violence.

This book is for courses in counseling, social work, and clinical psychology on mental health, trauma, and trauma theory.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014

    Sandra Bloom has compiled a concise exposition of what ails us together with reasonable approaches to remedies.

    Her own compassionate experiences and willingness to enter into the depths of human suffering among the mentally ill, her willingness to see the evidence of conventional wisdom failing thereby exploding her comfortable paradigms has created a new path to wellness. She presents a path to wellness and healing not only for the mentally ill and those who care for them, but also for our society.

    I do not have degrees in psychology or medicine, but only years of working with homeless addicts and alcoholics as a lay person. Having walked with and lived with very sick people through the maze of social services available, medical care treatments, criminal justice systems, addiction recovery systems, family systems, I have seen how complex and widespread is the dysfunction of our society. Trauma Informed Care, as presented in Creating Sanctuary is a most reasonable answer, a "must read" for anyone who wants to understand what is happening not only to the "them" but to us as a society.

    "Creating Sanctuary: Toward the evolution of Sane Societies" is scholarly enough for textbook study, deeply cross referenced in supporting studies to support a new vision. I intend to read this several times to allow the many nuances of understanding saturate my mind more fully.

    My love of Christian spiritual values wants a clearer link to spiritual healing, Dr. Bloom does not discount spiritual values, and it is easy to see the correlations to spiritual principles through out the book. Bill W. of AA reports having a sudden spiritual awakening that changed his life and our response to alcoholism/addiction profoundly, but my experience appreciates that most people experience a slow unfolding of understanding their illness, how to live mentally healthy through an unfolding understanding of a higher power/God.. During that process of deconstructing and reconstructing a life, Sanctuary is necessary.

    From my observation, most homeless people have slid into a lifestyle of alcoholism/addiction/mental illness from life trauma(s) that are seldom effectively addressed. The costs to society through the medical, judicial, Social Services agencies for this failure to address trauma is exorbitant. "Creating Sanctuary" can help us become more effective in solving overwhelming social ills at the same time of helping just one. Amazing

    We are implementing the Sanctuary model where I work. This book provides a background to help us understand the philosophies behind the sanctuary model. It can be very technical in some areas. Overall, the book is very good.

    This is not an easy read and seems to wander all over the place; nevertheless, I am getting something out of it, but I need to read a few pages at a time, digest the information and then return to the book. Way overpriced.
