My most recent book, Mapping Trauma and Its Wake: Autobiographic Essays by Pioneer Trauma Scholars (Routledge Psychosocial Stress Series, 31), includes a chapter I wrote about myself. It is the most disclosive of any of my works. Indeed, my first book, Stress Disorders among Vietnam Veterans (1978), gave no indication that I was a vet myself.
In Mapping (just out) I describe my decision to enter the Marine Corps rather than going to William and Mary college after graduation. I would love to hear what you think. My phone number is 850 644 9598 but the best way to communicate with me is via email (cfigley@fsu.edu).
Warm regards,
Charles

5.0 out of 5 stars
the author (editor) is Charles R. Figley, Ph.D.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stress Disorders Among Vietnam Veterans: Theory, Research, (Routledge Psychosocial Stress Series) (Hardcover)
A classic book that was dedicated to Max Cleland, currently the US Senator from Georgia. The Forward was written by Peter Bourne, MD, the senior White House Advior at the time and expert on war-related stress disorders. This book helped to justify the establishment of the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) diagnosis, the national outreach program for Vietnam veterans, through the VA's Vet Center Program (readjustment counseling), and national awareness that WAR DOES BAD THINGS to both friend and foe. It should be required reading for policy makers who assume that the war is over when it's over. It is not in the minds of those who experienced it first hand.

This review is from: Stress Disorders Among Vietnam Veterans: Theory, Research, (Routledge Psychosocial Stress Series) (Hardcover)
Informative and disturbing. PTS is a long lasting and debilitating disorder experienced by so many of our young soldiers today, too.
