This document discusses complexity, chaos and conflict surrounding military PTSD. It notes that dialogues around military PTSD are often antagonistic and chaotic. Common theories for why this occurs are discussed, such as lack of funding, ignorance, or issues with traditional masculinity and military culture. The document presents a diagram mapping factors that contribute to the complexity, including individual identity and trauma, military subcultures, bureaucracy, and social influences. The goals of the author's research are to comprehensively map perspectives on military psychological trauma and understand how individuals perceive related processes.
This document proposes a pilot program to address combat stress in veterans through a new approach of peer counseling and establishing a regional veteran center. It outlines that continuously exposing soldiers to combat drives most to insanity, and the current stigma of defining combat stress as a mental illness prevents veterans from seeking help. The proposal recommends training veteran peer counselors through a military veteran network to provide counseling and establishing a veteran center for rural veterans to access services. It presents a budget of $66,200 for the first year, with the largest expenses being peer counselors and their annual training.
This document discusses combat-related trauma and PTSD. It defines key terms like combat, trauma, and stress. It then discusses common symptoms of combat-related PTSD like difficulties with relationships, depression, feeling on guard, and substance abuse. The document notes that individual perception of a traumatic event is important for developing PTSD rather than just exposure. It recommends improved PTSD treatment for veterans that considers combat experiences. Treatments discussed include prolonged exposure therapy, EMDR, and cognitive processing therapy. The document also notes issues with misdiagnosis of veterans and confusion between PTSD and TBI. It provides sources for further information.

Hayden Ton and Ryan Wertz presented on music therapy for PTSD. They defined PTSD based on the DSM-V criteria, and discussed intrusive symptoms, avoidance behaviors, negative thoughts and mood changes, and arousal symptoms. They explained that music therapy can help reduce PTSD symptoms by promoting neuron growth and activation of brain regions related to well-being. A local nonprofit, Boise Hive, was featured that uses music therapy and counseling to help prevent suicide. Research on music therapy for PTSD is growing, analyzing quantitative measures and comparing music therapies to traditional treatments.
Impact of Suicide on People Exposed to a FatalityFranklin Cook
"Impact of Suicide on People Exposed to a Fatality" is excerpted and adapted from Responding to Grief, Trauma, and Distress After a Suicide: U.S. National Guidelines (2015), by the Survivors of Suicide Loss Task Force (bit.ly/sosl-taskforce) of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention.

This summary report concludes that:
The research delineated above represents the solid and growing body of evidence that, for a significant number of people exposed to the suicide fatality or attempt of another person, there are long-term, harmful mental health consequences. Shneidman’s declaration (1972) that postvention is prevention for the next generation is unquestionably supported by clear and overwhelming evidence that exposure to the suicide of another person, particularly of a close intimate, elevates the risk of suicidal behavior and of death by suicide in the population of people exposed.

Self destructive behaviors and survivors of suicidesbuffo
This document discusses self-destructive behavior and suicide. It defines self-destructive behavior and explains that it is often a form of self-punishment or learned behavior. It then lists common types of self-destructive behaviors like self-harm, substance abuse, and risky behaviors. The document discusses myths and facts related to suicide and explains the common elements, emotions, and cognitive states involved in suicidal thoughts and acts. It also discusses the impact of suicide on survivors and how to help survivors cope and heal from the suicide of a loved one.
Systems Must Include Three Levels of Care for Aftermath of SuicideFranklin Cook
The document discusses guidelines for providing support after a suicide and outlines three levels of care: immediate response, support services, and treatment services. It describes the goals and principles of each level. The immediate response involves crisis response, triage to identify high-risk individuals, and follow-up. Support services help people cope with grief and loss through information, guidance, and education. Treatment services are for those with mental health diagnoses and are provided by licensed professionals. The levels of care often overlap and distinguish support from treatment based on whether clinical interventions are being provided for a formal diagnosis.

- The document discusses a case study involving a terminally ill patient requesting medical aid in dying.
- It summarizes two classmates' responses analyzing the situation from a Christian worldview versus a secular humanist worldview.
- Both responses agree that from a Christian perspective, a nurse could not assist in ending a patient's life but should provide compassionate care. However, from a secular humanist view, assisting may be supported if legal.
This study examined the effects of redeployment on PTSD symptoms, satisfaction with life, and death anxiety in United States Marines. 77 Marines completed questionnaires assessing these factors. Marines who had deployed previously showed significantly higher levels of PTSD symptoms and lower satisfaction with life than Marines who had not deployed. However, death anxiety did not differ between groups. Marines who were facing redeployment for a second or subsequent time also displayed significantly higher PTSD symptoms than Marines without combat experience, suggesting that repeated deployment may exacerbate PTSD symptoms in Marines.
The document provides an analysis of the main character R.P. McMurphy from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". It summarizes that McMurphy faked having a mental illness to get transferred from prison to a mental institution. The document analyzes McMurphy's behaviors and attributes them to meeting criteria for diagnoses of malingering and antisocial personality disorder. Differential diagnoses are also considered, including factitious disorder and conversion disorder.
Challenges to human equality author(s) jeff mcmahansourVivan17
This document discusses two challenges to liberal egalitarian views of human equality: the separation problem and the equality problem. The separation problem is identifying a morally significant intrinsic difference between all humans and nonhuman animals. The equality problem is explaining how all humans can be equal given variations in psychological capacities among humans. The author argues that the separation problem cannot be solved, as some humans and possibly some animals will fall above or below any threshold defined by psychological capacity. The equality problem also remains for those above the threshold. The author considers but remains skeptical of responses that claim species membership can determine moral status.
This study examined the relationship between reasons for living, depression, and suicide symptoms in 96 active duty military personnel. The study found that:
1) The amount of time it took participants to provide a reason for living was positively correlated with depression, hopelessness, and future risk of suicide attempts.
2) However, the total number of reasons for living reported was not correlated with depression or suicide ideation measures.
3) Depression was a better predictor of suicide ideation than the time it took to respond or qualities of the reasons for living provided.
The document discusses the issue of veteran suicide, including causes and impacts. It notes that approximately 1600 veterans commit suicide each year due to untreated mental health issues like PTSD. Veteran suicide significantly impacts both the military and country. While some prevention strategies have helped reduce rates, such as a suicide hotline and restricting access to firearms, other approaches have failed. The future outlook remains grim unless more is done to improve veterans' access to adequate mental healthcare.

1) Michael Pollan argues that nutrition science often focuses too much on individual nutrients rather than whole foods or diets. While reductionist science provides some useful insights, it also oversimplifies and leads people to mistake partial truths for the full picture.
2) Pollan discusses differing hypotheses about what aspects of the Western diet (high in sugars, fats, and processed foods) cause health problems. However, scientists advocating different theories often do so with "absolutist zeal."
3) Pollan develops some simple rules based on his research: avoid highly processed foods, don't eat too much, and eat mostly plants. His goal is to point people toward healthier eating rather than dictate specific menus.
The aftermath oF adolescent suicide clinical, ethical, and spiritual issues G...insn
This document discusses clinical, ethical, and spiritual issues related to adolescent suicide and its aftermath. It aims to help professionals prepare for and cope with the aftermath of an adolescent suicide. The document defines different types of suicide and examines physicians' attitudes toward suicide. It explores the impact of suicide on grieving survivors and clinicians. The document concludes by outlining therapeutic interventions and applying lessons learned to a case study of an adolescent patient who died by suicide.
This document summarizes a research study on the influence of social support on depression among veterans. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between social support and depression in veterans compared to non-veterans, and examine how social support is associated with various demographic factors. The researcher reviewed responses from 14,898 participants in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey and used statistical testing to analyze the relationships. The results showed that social support had a statistically significant relationship with depression in veterans, similar to non-veterans. Education level, employment status, marital status, income, and activity limitations were found to have a significant impact on social support, but age, gender and race did not.
Comm with the Elderly: end-of-life decision-makingnrindge
This document discusses end-of-life decision making and the debate around physician-assisted suicide. It notes that as people age, they face complex medical, legal, and personal decisions. Specifically, it examines the debate around whether terminally ill patients should be allowed to end their own lives with a physician's help. The document outlines some of the perspectives in the debate and considerations involved in end-of-life decision making regarding physician-assisted suicide.
PTSD is experienced by returning veterans due to combat and can negatively impact their relationships and community life through increased rates of homelessness, violence, and substance abuse. Family members of veterans with PTSD may also experience secondary traumatic stress. While PTSD was previously misunderstood, greater research and awareness in the psychology field has improved diagnosis and treatment, though more progress still needs to be made.

1) The document discusses the role of social workers in serving military families and veterans. It notes initiatives by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden to engage social workers through NASW in providing services to the military community.
2) There is an ethical dilemma around whether social workers need specialized training in military culture to effectively help clients. Some argue general cultural competence is sufficient, while others say understanding unique military challenges is crucial.
3) High rates of military suicide are discussed in the context of gun control debates and how social workers can best address this complex issue to serve veterans and their families.
Experiencing a traumatic event does not always lead to the development of PTSD. While trauma can cause PTSD, not all trauma survivors receive this diagnosis, as alternative diagnoses may apply. PTSD is diagnosed when exceptionally stressful events cause discomfort or trauma that one is unable to forget. However, other disorders like acute stress disorder may develop instead of PTSD following trauma. If PTSD is not diagnosed after trauma, conditions like anxiety disorders or obsessive-compulsive disorders could provide alternative explanations for a client's experiences and symptoms.
1) Emergency service workers such as police, firefighters, and paramedics have high risks of experiencing PTSD due to experiencing violence, rape, sexual assaults, and other traumatic events in their work.
2) PTSD can negatively affect the family of emergency workers through their partners and marriages by causing symptoms in the worker like anxiety that spills over to family life.
3) Resilient personality traits, optimism, and ego resilience can help prevent PTSD, as can treatment methods involving therapy, anxiety management techniques, cognitive behavioral exposure, and sometimes medication.

Spirituality And Resilience In Trauma VictimsMasa Nakata
1) Spirituality and religious beliefs can help trauma victims build narratives to integrate traumatic experiences and decrease post-traumatic symptoms. Religious frameworks may influence how people interpret and cope with trauma.
2) Positive religious coping is associated with better mental health outcomes for trauma survivors, while negative religious coping is linked to worse outcomes. Religious coping may help reduce feelings of loss of control and helplessness after trauma.
3) Religious beliefs provide a sense of meaning, purpose, and hope that can foster resilience in trauma survivors. Spirituality may be an important but underutilized part of treating conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.
Veterans with PTSD can negatively impact their communities in several ways. Memories may be triggered by sights and sounds, causing veterans to relive traumatic events and become isolated. Veterans with PTSD also have higher rates of domestic violence. Their symptoms, like feeling anxious or having a short temper, can make family life stressful. Additionally, troubled veterans are more likely to engage in criminal behavior like drunken fights or domestic violence. Substance abuse is also common among veterans as a way to cope with PTSD symptoms, and maintaining employment can be difficult. Overall, undiagnosed or untreated PTSD in veterans affects their relationships, mental health, and ability to fully participate in their communities.
The document discusses the growing issue of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in US military veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unconventional guerilla warfare tactics like improvised explosive devices have led to more traumatic brain injuries which are strongly associated with PTSD. This has resulted in an increased number of veterans being diagnosed with PTSD and concerns about the VA's ability to effectively treat them.

The document discusses the growing issue of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in US military veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unconventional guerilla warfare tactics like improvised explosive devices have led to more traumatic brain injuries which are strongly associated with PTSD. This has resulted in an increased number of veterans being diagnosed with PTSD and concerns about the VA's ability to effectively treat them.
The document discusses post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans returning from combat situations throughout history from World War I to current conflicts. Front line combat exposes soldiers to extraordinary stress that can lead to the development of PTSD, with symptoms like anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal. Rates of PTSD are high, with some studies finding it in up to 18% of recent veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. While PTSD is a serious issue, treatment programs indicate that with support veterans can often learn to manage their symptoms and live productive lives.
Discussion 1:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
While historically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been addressed chiefly as an issue faced by veterans, it has only been quite recently that the awareness of the impact of war has begun to increase. As veterans return from combat, we are learning even more clearly the dire need for mental health approaches to address the impact of war on soldiers. The media has started to highlight the need for interventions to address this mental health issue, publishing the staggering statistics on veteran suicides. According to the Suicide Data Report, 2012 (Kemp & Bossarte, 2013, p. 18), veterans and active duty military are taking their lives at the rate of 22 a day. This number can be reduced with the proper type of prevention and intervention strategies. Consider Jake Levy and his struggle with PTSD, and the most recent interventions used to address its symptoms.
For this Discussion, review the program case study for the Levy family.
·
Post your description of the interventions used by the practitioner.
·
Identify the specific skills and tools used with Jake to address PTSD.
·
What other skills might you use with Jake to address his symptoms?
·
Explain why these might be important to help Jake heal emotionally.

This document summarizes a paper examining justice for returning veterans living with PTSD and how social media can aid in the reintegration process. It first defines justice and discusses the facts around PTSD, noting that around 21% of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan exhibit PTSD symptoms. It then explores how the stigma around mental health issues prevents some veterans from seeking treatment. The document recommends that anonymous social media sites could help veterans discuss their issues and receive information to better support reintegration.
Trauma can impact both the brain and immune system. Research shows that traumatic events that cause PTSD result in altered immune cell levels. The type of trauma selected, such as military combat, can have potential lifelong health consequences due to changes in immune and brain function from the trauma. Two examples of lifelong consequences are increased risk of depression and chronic inflammation.
The document discusses post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the role of environmental factors in its onset and treatment. It notes that research has heavily focused on environmental perspectives due to PTSD being triggered by extreme environmental stimuli. However, to fully understand PTSD, future research needs to incorporate other psychological perspectives beyond just external environmental factors. The document also examines specific environmental factors like deployment tempo, occupational roles, and cultural contexts that impact PTSD.

When taken to the emergency department he showed no signs of amnesia prior to the car accident or after the accident. But his significant partner was left unsettled with the diagnosis and describes his behavior as distracted and unfocused from the day of the accident to six months after. She claims to have to constantly repeat everything she mentions to him over and over. Traumatic brain injury is a severe health problem that is caused by physical damage to the brain such as from a car accident or falling down and banging your head hard on an object or the floor. According to Carlson (2013), head injuries can damage the cerebral cortex, frontal lobe, axons, blood vessels, and ventricles.
“Approximately 52,000 people die from traumatic brain injury (TBI), undoubtedly, many others receive brain injuries but not a diagnosis; almost a third of deaths caused by injuries involve TBI” (Carlson, 2013). The victim described in the scenario chosen suffered from a car accident six month prior to the concerns his partner had. The symptoms lead signs of mild traumatic brain injury. Segev, Shorer, Rassovsky, Peleg, Apter, and Fennig (2016) focused on persistent post concussive symptoms (PPCS) which are a set of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Although, not many symptoms were given for the patient, he can still be experiencing TBI. Some individuals who suffer from this health problem are affected mildly.
This individual is experiencing symptoms of mild TBI such as behavioral and cognitive signs. He underwent a Glasgow Coma Scale at the emergency department and scored a 15 out of 15 showing no signs of trauma. The emergency department stated the patient had no trauma solely based on the results of one exam, but maybe running a few different tests would be best before out-ruling the diagnosis of traumatic brain injury. Conducting a computed tomography (CT) scan would help determine further internal brain damage such as fractures or internal cerebral bleeding (Ganti, et. al., 2015). Another test that could be done is the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to help distinguish any brain abnormalities.
Ganti, et. al., (2015) suggests that the problem for individuals who suffer from mild TBI I that there is “no single protocol or standard methodology for evaluating such patients.” Further recommendations for the patient and his family would be therapy. Therapy with a professional who can assess his cerebral damage by performing evaluations, mental state examinations, and physical exams is important to und ...
This document provides a biography and curriculum vitae for Dr. Carmen Vincent Russoniello. It summarizes his education, licenses, certifications, positions held, research experiences, publications, grants, presentations, teaching experiences, and service. Dr. Russoniello is currently a Professor and Director of East Carolina University's Center for Applied Psychophysiology and its program for Wounded Warriors. He has over 30 years of experience in therapy, counseling, education, and research involving psychophysiology methods.
This document discusses several studies on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans of war. It examines the differences in PTSD between veterans who served in active combat zones versus non-active combat zones. One study found that PTSD symptoms were significantly more severe, on average, for veterans who served in active combat zones where there was regular firefights, bombings and IEDs. To better understand the causes of PTSD and improve treatment, the document proposes a study comparing PTSD rates and diagnoses between veterans from active and non-active combat deployments. The results are hypothesized to show that active combat exposure leads to higher rates of PTSD.

3. PTSD
You just don’t get the demands of military service
They’re all heroes
He’s pulling the wool over your eyes for secondary gain
Accommodate the injured
I was there and I’m OK – he must be weak
He must have done something heroic to be suffering so badly
We can barely meet our commitments as it is
You just don’t get the reality of mental illness
Observed Discourse a Decade Ago
4. PTSD
Legal liability
Self-identify and we’ll expertly fix you
The illness identity comes with intolerable losses
Sacred social contract
Carefully manage the message
I’ve been ostracized and betrayed by my military family
We outlawed social stigma – what remains must be self-created
Break the silence
We made the best evidence-based programs in NATO
You’re failing at leadership
Currently Observed Discourse
5. Question
Experiencing PTSD is bad enough.
Why are the dialogues and processes
around military PTSD chronically chaotic
and exceptionally antagonistic?
6. Common Theories
• Government isn't funding enough treatment because…
• Ignorance: Need more education about the science of PTSD
• Awareness: Need more publicity about the painful and
debilitating experience of PTSD
• Traditional masculinity is inherently problematic
• Military context is inherently problematic
• Culture gap between military and civilians**

11. Goals of research:
To investigate (via grounded theory methodology) and
comprehensively map the perspectives and processes within the
field of military psychological trauma.
To understand how individual military clients perceive and are
affected by these processes.
To understand the role of mental health providers, and the multi-
level effects of our diagnoses and interventions.
To illuminate the possibilities
for wise and beneficial action at all levels.
