Editorial Reviews

Review

"The workbook for veterans is excellent. I would guess that some veterans could use the workbook alone with little or no professional help.I applaud the authors of this program for attempting to widen the resources available to help returning veterans cope with reintegration. I also applaud the recognition that normalizes a process that could be easily pathologized." (PsycCRITIQUES, 5/20/09)

"These guides, which are written in a manner that is suited to practitioners who may not be familiar with military experience and culture, are basic, concise, clearly written, easily understandable and pragmatic." (Journal of Psychiatric Practice, Vol 15, No. 4)

"This clinician guide and client workbook set is notable for its concreteness, clarity, practicality, and specificity. This manual is a valuable and eminently practical resource for providing a structured but flexible psycho-educational intervention for veterans of war." (Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Winter 2009)

"Both books are intended to be used with one another and encourage an active relationship between clinician and veteran as treatment unfolds. Both books positively contribute to the burgeoning focus on treatment modalities for the country's wounded heroes. A particular strength is the inclusion of pre - and posttests that the authors recommend using before and after the administration of this intervention. Clinicians will find both books pragmatic and designed to flexibly allow them to use these in conjunction with their own preferred treatment modality." (Research on Social Work Practice, December 2008)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've found for my combat stress, April 4, 2009
By 
D. Rivera "D. Rivera" (Los Angeles, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strategies for Managing Stress After War: Veteran's Workbook and Guide to Wellness (Paperback)
I really liked the practical advice and skills this books gives on how to deal with all of the PTSD problems I was having - stress, anger, fights with my wife and family. I even gave it to my wife, parents, and counselor so that they could understand what I was going through and help me when I needed it. It's the best I found on the topic, and recommend it for anyone who is going through these problems.
