Secretary of Defense. Dr. Ainspan has conducted research, written,
and spoken extensively about the psychological impact of the
transition from the military into civilian life. His research focus
has been on improving civilian employment opportunities for
returning service members and the psychosocial benefits that
employment can have on wounded warriors and injured veterans and
people with disabilities. Dr. Ainspan is the recipient of the 2016
Raymond A. Katzell Award from the Society for Industrial and
Organization Psychology.

post-traumatic stress disorders. His first PTSD studies were
published in 1981, focusing on psychosocial rehabilitation for PTSD
and substance abuse among veterans. Currently, he concentrates on

veterans transitioning to civilian occupations.
"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.

U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs, and Professor of Psychiatry and
Pharmacology & Toxicology, Geisel School of Medicine at
