Product Description
DIVTwo experts from the VA National Center for PTSD provide an essential resource for service members, their spouses, families, and communities, sharing what troops really experience during deployment and back home. Pinpointing the most common after-effects of war and offering strategies for troop reintegration to daily life, Drs. Friedman and Slone cover the myths and realities of homecoming; reconnecting with spouse and family; anger and adrenaline; guilt and moral dilemmas; and PTSD and other mental-health concerns. With a wealth of community and government resources, tips, and suggestions, IAfter the War Zone/I is a practical guide to helping troops and their families prevent war zone stresses from having a lasting negative impact./Div

5 out of 5 stars

important book for 2009 and 2010 September 8, 2008
As more of the 1.6 million troops mobilized for Iraq and Afhanistan return home, this book will be a very important practical resource. The authors draw upon a wealth of experience in research and treatment to write a book that is down to earth, frank, and informative.

Congratulations, you survived your deployment! The very Skills and Mindset you honed and sharpened will now get in the way of you returning to your normal home environment. br /br /This book is valuable resource for you, your family, and your community. It "tells it like it is" and how it has been for thousands of soldiers before you returning from the WAR ZONE or from supporting The WAR ZONE. br /br /I'm a Vietnam Veteran, who thought my return from combat would be a smooth transition. That was NOT the case! I was not prepared and neither was my family, my community nor my nation. br /br /By studying this book, we all can gain understanding of what is required of the returning individuals and what is required to support them through reintegration from Warrior to Good Citizen. br /br /After the War Zone: A Practical Guide for Returning Troops and Their Families
