Reviews

"This excellent book is, indeed, a 'Handbook' in the best sense of the word. It goes way beyond the usual domains of assessment and treatment to address key issues regarding military culture, challenges faced by families, approaches to delivery of care, and very useful information on available resources. I recommend it to anyone caring for Service Members and Veterans." --Matthew J. Friedman, MD, PhD, Senior Advisor, National Center for PTSD, U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs, and Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology & Toxicology, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
Winner of the 2016 Raymond A. Katzell Media Award in I-O Psychology
