Abstract:
Everyone agrees that our troops deserve a return to productive and creative lives after service. Yet in spite of billions spent on psychological care and reintegration programs, we face an epidemic of combat-related conditions like PTSD. What's the solution? With "Warrior's Return, " Dr. Edward Tick reveals what's missing in our approach to bringing our veterans back from war. While most trauma treatment programs focus on symptom reduction or temporary relief, Dr. Tick presents a comprehensive vision for healing the soul-level wounds of war. Here he offers proven strategies drawn from cross-cultural wisdom, mythical archetypes, and his 35 years of experience helping veterans, families, and caregivers cope with the life-changing effects of combat. "No society is healthy without a healthy, functioning elder warrior class, " states Dr. Tick. "Warrior's Return" offers step-by-step guidance for initiating our veterans back into the community-an essential map for the hero's journey home.
