Book excerpt: "In the final volume of her trilogy on interlinked social issues, [the author] explores the troubled psyches of young people incarcerated in Juvenile Hall. The perspectives of psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and experts in the field of juvenile justice, combined with dramatic contributions elicited from the youths themselves, underscore the social and neurobiological impacts of childhood trauma. Ultimately, however, the message of 'Born, not raised' is hope-- that unnurtured youth, with all their dreams and deficits, can be reparented and rewoven into the social fabric."--Page 4 of cover.
