This course is designed to provide an overview of military culture and how military culture impacts clinical practice with veterans and military personnel. A review of effective treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related conditions will be reviewed as well as other related clinical issues such as nightmares and insomnia. Psychological and pharmacological treatments reviewed will focus on those with the most rigorous scientific support currently available. The concept of posttraumatic growth will be highlighted, particularly as it relates to understanding trauma response from a unique perspective.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, Mental Health and the Military: Cultural and Clinical Considerations for Treating Veterans with PTSD and Related Conditions created by Bret Moore in 2024.
