War and the Soul: Healing Our Nation's Veterans from Post-tramatic Stress Disorder

Really helped

Dieses englischsprachige Buch ist vor allem Menschen an`s Herz zu legen, die Interesse bezeugen, sich intensiv mit dem Posttraumatischen Stresssyndrom zu befassen bzw.im Rahmen ihres Berufs mit traumatisierten Menschen zu tun haben und die sich für die seelische Auswirkung / Verarbeitung von Kriegserlebnissen interessieren. Vorausgesetzt sind natürlich sehr gute Englischkenntnisse und ein Wissen um diverse Fachbegriffe. Ein sehr informatives, interessantes Werk mit zahlreichen Fallbeispielen und prägenden,ergreifenden und bewußtseinserweiternden Geschichten.Empfehlenswert zum Thema wären an dieser Stelle sicher auch Bücher von Dr.Roger Woolger-beispielsweise " Other Lives-Other Selves". Dieses Buch gibt es auch in deutscher Sprache.

I love this book. This book is like none other that addresses PTSD for Vets, most say it is an anxiety disorder. Mr. Tick is indeed on the right track in saying that our Veterans need to heal their souls, because it is their souls that suffer the wounds. It was a compelling read and touched me profoundly. I found the book to be well written, informative, and great philosphy. It has inspired me to learn more in how I could possibly be of assistance in supporting our Vets so they can find the healing that they need and deserve. I wish our nation would view PTSD in a different light, so many more people could be helped. I loved the sweat lodge, I have participated in one in the past and there is healing to that method, if only our military could be so progressive to honor what history could teach us. This just a great, great book and I will read it again. Thank you Mr.Tick.

one of the most profound books i have ever read - and i read alot. i grew up at the tail end of korea, watched vietnam on tv, then grenada, beirut, cambodia, the hutus and tutsis, iraq, afghanistan and on and on it goes. i have never read anything like this before and by the time i was done i wondered how in god's name these young people we send off to war, ever come home again, how they heal and is it possible for them. i now believe that it is possible, but to be honest, i am think that the price to them and the world is just too high. probably the best book on wars and the people we send off to fight them.

So far so good.
