About the Book

This is a volume on how warriors live and survive in combat  duty and the psychological impact of being in harm's way. It addresses the combat preparation of service men and women, their support system, their interpersonal and intrapersonal experiences. The book focuses on cognitive behavioral interventions for treating various combat related disorders and addresses psychological health and adjustment after leaving the battlefield and reintegrating back into the lives they put on hold. Part I offers chapters on the preparation and training of service personnel for combat duty.  Part II considers the emotions and stresses of combat; Part III presents treatments for the effects of combat experience, from sleep disorders to PTSD; and Part IV offers chapters on the indirect effects on  family and the reintegration of the veteran in civilian society.  This a book meant for the clinician who will be treating a service man or woman who has been in harm’s way, members of her or his family, and the veteran returning to the community.
