Reviews

This is an invaluable reference for students, clinicians, policy makers, and all who seek to understand the complex psychological impacts of war. The authors give voice to the full experience of Warriors in combat, addressing issues such as the psychological costs of killing, and post-combat adjustment. This compendium advances us towards developing effective methods for building resiliency and assisting with recovery from the intense stressors of deployment and combat. - Colonel Bruce E. Crow, Clinical Psychology Consultant to the U.S. Army Surgeon General, USA Living and Surviving in Harm's Way contains a masterful understanding of the American defender by the collaborators which merits serious attention from those responsible for the welfare of the guardians of our republic and the freedoms we adore. This book is a must read for military leaders who wish to understand their soldiers, and anyone interested in understanding the often misrepresented challenges warriors are faced with . -Thomas Gonzalez, Command Sergeant Major, 71st EOD Group, Fort Carson, Co., USA An impressive academic text thoroughly inundating the reader in the soldier's worldview. Imminently useful. I count myself fortunate to have had an opportunity to read [this book] and plan to refer to [it] often. -Joseph Hansel, PhD., APA Division 18 Newsletter, Spring 2010 [This book] summarizes some of the mroe useful current information about the treatment of PTSD and related conditions. A timely, helpful reference for clinicians working in the area of combat-related trauma. Some of the chapters...are of particular interest because they address topics not commonly found in most books on combat stress disorders. It would also be useful to assign specific chapters to trainees in pertinent fields since some of this material deals with basics about combat and trauma, while other chapters present more innovative ideas. I feel that clinicians who treat the unseen wounds of war will find themselves referring to Living and Surviving in Harm's Way often and will be glad to have it in their libraries. - Susan H. Houston in PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55, Release 17 As more and more military service members return from their tours with psychological injuries and disabilities, expect to see a proliferation of books on military psychology and mental health treatment--but don't expect to see many with the depth and scope of the present volume. If you work with military service members, this will be an indispensible addition of your clinical reference library. -Daniel Clark, Editor, International Journal of Emergency Mental Health, Vol. 11, No. 4, 2009 ...a comprehensive and stimulating resource designed to increase awareness and understanding of the multitude of stressors that can accompany a military career...The editors and authors have infused a wealth of references and empirical support throughout the book, increasing its credibility and offering resources for further inquiry... This resource encompasses wide-ranging aspects of the psychological challenge that can be associated with the military experience, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sleep disorders, violence, grief and more...an invaluable reference for any helping professional interested in understanding the impacts of military life, and it is strongly recommended for those who wish to provide services to this unique population. - Michelle A. Weigel, Counseling Today As more and more military service members return from their tours with psychological injuries and disabilities, expect to see a proliferation of book son military psychology and mental health treatment--but don't expect to see many with the depth and scope of the present volume. By definition, a 'handbook' is a repository of practical wisdom that professionals can refer to when needed. If you work with military service members, this will be an indispensible addition of your clinical reference library. - International Journal of Emergency Mental Health, Vol. 11, No. 4, 2009
