The United States is in the midst of the largest military
demobilization in its history. This is leading to an increase in
the demand for mental health clinicians who can provide services to
hundreds of thousands of military veterans and members of the
military. Nearly two million Americans have been deployed to the
wars in the Middle East, and thousands of them have been deeply
affected, either psychologically, physically, or both. Projections
suggest that 300,000 are returning with symptoms of PTSD or major
Depression; 320,000 have been exposed to probable Traumatic Brain
Injuries; and hundreds of thousands are dealing with psychological
effects of physical injuries. Other veterans and members of the
military without injuries will seek treatment to help them with the
psychological impact of serving in the military, being deployed, or
transitioning and reintegrating back into the civilian world. As an
example, hundreds of thousands of service members are also leaving
the armed forces earlier than they anticipated and will need to
quickly adjust to life as civilians after assuming that they would
have many more years in the military. Many will be leaving the
military because of demobilizations and downsizing due to budget
cuts. Current proposed cuts will shrink the military force to the
same size it was in 1940. The Pew Center reports that 44% of
veterans from the current wars are describing their readjustment to
civilian life as "difficult," and many of them are and will be
turning to civilian mental health and primary care clinicians for
assistance. The Handbook of Psychosocial Interventions for Veterans
and Service Members is a "one stop" handbook for non-military
clinicians working with service members, veterans, and their
families. It brings together experts from the Department of
Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, veteran service
organizations, and academia to create the first comprehensive
guidebook for civilian clinicians. In addition to covering
psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, this
book also offers information about psychosocial topics that impact
military personnel and their loved ones and can become part of
treatment (e.g., employment or education options, financial
matters, and parenting concerns), providing the most recent and
cutting-edge research on the topics. Chapters are concise and
practical, delivering the key information necessary to orient
clinicians to the special needs of veterans and their families. The
Handbook of Psychosocial Interventions for Veterans and Service
Members is an essential resource for private practice mental health
clinicians and primary care physicians, as well as a useful adjunct
for VA and DOD psychologists and staff.
