Trauma in the Military.

Catalog description

This course covers the multiple situations that military personnel experience which are identified as traumatizing events and experiences that independently or together, are major contributors for the development of Post-traumatic Stress Disorders in the military, as defined and described in the DSM 5 Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (APA, 2013). Multiple deployments, witnessing death or dismemberment or injury of fellow warriors, separation from family, conflict between civilian and military culture and military sexual trauma are some of the factors that will be explored as precipitants of trauma for male and female military personnel.
