Based on a foundation of knowledge of military culture, Counseling Veterans fulfills the need for a concise, practical guide to assist counselors working with service members coping with a continuum of concerns ranging from fragmentation of the family during deployment to the aftermath of post-traumatic injuries of war. Beginning with a brief description of the ethos and values of each branch of the military, the depth and breadth of coverage features an impressive collection of topics. Constructed in a way that will appeal to behavioral scientists and counseling professors alike, the overview of evidence-based approaches to treatment includes a focused inspection of 'how to' tactics that can be implemented on an individual basis. The authors illustrate their points with case examples and clinical vignettes that reflect careful attention to details such as learning objectives and dozens of references at the end of each chapter. It is an innovative textbook for graduate students as well as a valuable resource for the continuing professional development of experienced clinicians. -William F. Doverspike, Ph.D. ABPP, Licensed Psychologist, Atlanta Counseling Center
