Text of Note
"Clinician's Guide to Treating Stress After War: Education and Coping Interventions for Veterans outlines clear strategies that mental health professionals can use to help war returners become better able to negotiate common problems that diminish the quality of their day to day life, such as sleep issues, irritability, and getting along with family, friends, and colleagues." "This powerful and practical resource helps mental health professionals promote better health and better outcomes in veterans. Based upon empirically validated treatment methods and best practice guidelines for acute and traumatic stress, this clinician's manual and its accompanying workbook emphasize a wellness model. They were developed and refined through the authors' twenty years of combined clinical experience working with veterans." "Clinician's Guide to Treating Stress After War assists professionals to instill hope and enthusiasm in their clients, with the ultimate goal of increasing each individual's sense of control over his or her life."--Jacket.
