As we’ve spent the last several days reflecting on the legacy of the 9/11 terror attacks, psychologist George Bonanno’s perspective caught our eye. He studies how trauma affects people, and he says 9/11 fundamentally changed his field. Researchers tracking the symptoms of post-traumatic stress in New Yorkers during the months after the terrorist attacks found a surprising trend. Bonanno's new book is “The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think About PTSD.” (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta, File)
