Millions of adults suffer lasting impacts from childhood trauma, but the healthcare system will fail them without a revolution, urge Dr. Robert Maunder and Dr. Jonathan Hunter. They showcase Maunder's (aka "Bob") 20-years of experience treating "Isaac" -- a patient who experienced extreme childhood adversity. Maunder and Hunter argue that Isaac's all-too-common experiences of childhood abuse and his struggles to access care exemplify a healthcare system that must learn to address trauma-informed relationships.
