Making Sense of Suffering
Overcoming Trauma and Finding Joy
By Mohan Nair, M.D.
​
This book was originally written in 1993, towards the end of Dr. Nair’s 14-year experience in treating adults and children with trauma. His efforts culminated in the creation of a program with the help of like-minded mental health professionals where patients with a history of trauma could be treated in a holistic manner. Given the amount of time which has elapsed since he first penned this book, many things have changed and we know much more about the brain and how it and our bodies are affected by the environment. The central issues and concerns raised in the book remain unchanged. There has also been a long overdue interest in the therapeutic use of psychedelics for similar rationale as mine for treating PTSD.
This book represents the abreactive work done with thousands of patients, and in it he discusses in some detail our experience in using narco analysis. Many of the concerns noted and strategies used in abreactive work involving narco analysis will be helpful for both patients and therapists who wish to consider the use of ketamine infusions and psychedelics for treating PTSD, complex PTSD, and unresolved grief.
