"The Globe that his co-writer and co-founder and CEO was horrifically abusive and he created a toxic work environment, and the way he responded was just textbook gaslighting"
Not very helpful to throw somebody under the bus for having a bad work partner...
The reason I mentioned the controversy around Bessel van der Kolk and The Trauma Center that he co-founded (and was fired from) is that his book is basically required reading for many people entering the mental health field. I strongly believe people deserve the right to know about what happened so they can form their own opinions.
