Grief and bereavement are a universal part of the human experience.
The impact of grief on human lives is increasingly evident as the
COVID-19 pandemic, environmental disasters, and—in the United
States in particular—gun-related violence upend normal life and
expose vast swaths of society to recurring and profound trauma. It
was only in 2022, with the publication of DSM-5-TR and in the
context of considerable scientific progress, that prolonged grief
disorder (PGD) was included as a formal diagnosis, one also
reflected in ICD-11. Now, this new handbook provides both clinical
and non-clinical readers with a science-based approach to
identifying and addressing PGD, along with what might be termed
"normal" grief. In extensively referenced chapters filled with
illustrative case studies, this guide examines topics such as •
What constitutes bereavement • How "simple" bereavement differs
from PGD and how to manage them clinically • Grief in children
and the importance of a life cycle approach • Cultural factors
and their impact on the experience of grief • Stigma and
attitudes toward treatment • Diagnosing and treating PGD With
consequences that include suffering, social isolation and
loneliness, poor physical health, shortened life expectancy, and
suicide, it is critical that PGD be recognized and treated as
quickly as possible. Thus, Grief and Prolonged Grief Disorder is a
necessary resource: Its evidence-based approach gives readers the
tools they need to recognize grief in themselves and others,
strategies for the clinical management of typical grief, guidance
on the specific treatment for PGD, and tips on when to refer
patients for specialty care.
Care of Military Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families
serves a critical need, which has been highlighted by recent
reported rates of combat-related stress disorders and traumatic
brain injury, as well as increases in suicide rates among service
members and veterans over the past decade and the distress and
challenges faced by their children and families. More than 2.5
million Americans currently serve in the U.S. military on active
duty, in the Reserves, or in the National Guard, and more than 20
million civilians are veterans. Although patients are viewed here
in the context of military service, they seek health care in
military, veteran, and civilian settings, and their mental health
concerns are as diverse as those encountered in the civilian
population. This book is designed for clinicians in all care
settings and provides thorough coverage of U.S. military structures
and cultures across the armed services, as well as detailed
material on the particular mental health challenges faced by
service members and their families. • A full overview of the
military lifestyle is provided, including the life cycle of the
military (recruitment to retirement), service subcultures (Navy,
Army, Marines, Air Force, and Reserve and Guard components),
challenges of military life for service members and families
(moves, deployments, etc.), and military mental health. Material on
military culture provides insight for practitioners who may not be
familiar with this population. • The book focuses on
collaborative care, particularly between the military health care
system and the Veterans Administration, providing clinicians with
strategies to mitigate stigma and other barriers to care through
mental health service delivery in primary care settings. • The
incidence of traumatic brain injury among service members has
increased because of the use of improvised explosive devices, and
an entire chapter is devoted to diagnosing and treating these
injuries as well as educating patients and their families on the
condition. • The families of service members face significant
challenges, and several chapters are devoted to the needs of
military children, the families of ill and injured service members
and veterans, deployment-related care, and caring for the bereaved.
The book's comprehensive review of resources available to military
service members, veterans, and families both ensures high-quality
care and reduces the workload for treating physicians. Care of
Military Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families is an
authoritative and much-needed addition to the mental health
literature.
An overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for
health care providers - child and adolescent psychiatrists, general
psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and
primary care clinicians - is presented. Most clinicians are unaware
that children in the United States are exposed to trauma
frequently, either as a single occurrence, or through repeated
events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental
and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and
well-being. This issue describes the multiple types of traumatic
exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment,
and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. The
volume highlights areas of particular relevance to children, such
as natural disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community
violence, sexual victimization, and complex trauma. Each is
differentiated as a unique trauma, requiring trauma-informed
systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed
population. Since traumatic exposure results in added risk to child
well-being, the third section of the volume describes strategies
for primary prevention (e.g. violence prevention) and risk
mitigation (e.g. skill and resilience building strategies), as well
as reviews evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical
disorders.
