This book is written by anarcha-feminist, radical animal rights activist and psychotherapist Pattrice Jones. Pattrice knows first-hand about the dangers of fighting for social justice, how to cope with them and what she calls aftershock — the psychological echoes of traumatic events that this fight cannot do without.

There are practical tips for preventing aftershock and smoothing the consequences of activist trauma — for individuals, groups, communities and for psychotherapists. This is a fresh experience that can strengthen the fight in difficult times.
