This volume is an extraordinary achievement for turbulent times."--Walter E.

Additionally, any program in a community where there is a military installation or large veteran population should have staff who understand the military issues described in this book.--Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, 12/1/2020 Long Description Many people--including some mental health professionals and service members themselves--have the misconception that military deployment is highly likely to cause posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
