Friedman, Matthew. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Military Returnees From Afghanistan and Iraq. The American Journal of Psychiatry, April 2006.
Friedman states that a majority of military personal returning from duty, will not successfully readjust to life at home. These men and women are at high risk of developing PTSD or some other psychiatric disorder. These returnees should be routinely tested for symptoms of these diseases, so that treatment can be started as soon as possible. The author looks at different subjects who are returning veterans, and analyzes their symptoms. I will look at these symptoms and the treatment for them. Risk factors of PTSD are also discussed in this article, and I will look at who is at risk, and other dangers.
Kingsley, George. Contemporary Group Treatment of Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Journal of The American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry. 2007.
Methods of treatment of PTSD are the main focus of this article. Kingsley looks at treatment of WWII and Vietnam veterans. He looks at group and individual treatments. Additional psychosocial problems and symptoms that accompany PTSD are also discussed. I will use this article to look into the different treatment plans.
