Haunted by combat : understanding PTSD in war veterans

"Examines how soldiers returning from combat from World War II to the present have been afflicted with post traumatic stress disorder and explores how treatments have changed over time and what can be done to help soldiers better cope with the horrors of war. --"
""Across history, the condition has been called "soldier's heart," "shell shock," or "combat fatigue." It is now increasingly common as our service men and women return from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat zones. Since 1990, Veterans' centers here have treated more than 1.6 million affected men and women, including an estimated 100,000 from the Gulf War and an untallied total from the Iraq front and the fighting in Afghanistan. The number also includes some 35,000 World War II veterans, because PTSD does not fade easily. Regardless of the months, years, and even decades that have passed, traumatic events can flash back as seemingly real as they were when they occurred." "In Haunted by Combat, Paulson and Krippner range across history and into current experiences and treatments for this haunting disorder, taking us into the minds of PTSD-affect-ed veterans as they struggle against the traumatic events lingering in their psyches, sometimes exploding into violent behavior. The authors explain how and why PTSD develops - and how we can help service members take the steps to heal." --Résumé de l'éditeur."
