War and the Soul: Healing Our Nation's Veterans from Post-Tramatic Stress Disorder Paperback – 1 January 2005

Really helped

Dieses englischsprachige Buch ist vor allem Menschen an`s Herz zu legen, die Interesse bezeugen, sich intensiv mit dem Posttraumatischen Stresssyndrom zu befassen bzw.im Rahmen ihres Berufs mit traumatisierten Menschen zu tun haben und die sich für die seelische Auswirkung / Verarbeitung von Kriegserlebnissen interessieren. Vorausgesetzt sind natürlich sehr gute Englischkenntnisse und ein Wissen um diverse Fachbegriffe. Ein sehr informatives, interessantes Werk mit zahlreichen Fallbeispielen und prägenden,ergreifenden und bewußtseinserweiternden Geschichten.Empfehlenswert zum Thema wären an dieser Stelle sicher auch Bücher von Dr.Roger Woolger-beispielsweise " Other Lives-Other Selves". Dieses Buch gibt es auch in deutscher Sprache.

I love this book. This book is like none other that addresses PTSD for Vets, most say it is an anxiety disorder. Mr. Tick is indeed on the right track in saying that our Veterans need to heal their souls, because it is their souls that suffer the wounds. It was a compelling read and touched me profoundly. I found the book to be well written, informative, and great philosphy. It has inspired me to learn more in how I could possibly be of assistance in supporting our Vets so they can find the healing that they need and deserve. I wish our nation would view PTSD in a different light, so many more people could be helped. I loved the sweat lodge, I have participated in one in the past and there is healing to that method, if only our military could be so progressive to honor what history could teach us. This just a great, great book and I will read it again. Thank you Mr.Tick.

I gave this to a veteran I work with. He passed it on after reading it to another veteran and he told him to keep it going forward to other veterans!❣️

My heart-felt thanks to Dr. Tick who understands why so many wounded warriors remain wounded. He also knows why previously used methods have failed and so many warriors have chosen to end their own lives upon returning home. I cannot thank this great man enough for his determination to find a way back for those whose wounds have been to painful to talk about. This book should be required reading for every chaplain working with our wounded warriors, no matter their years of service, just beginning the path to chaplaincy and even approaching retirement. This is pure gold that can bring healing. I would also recommend this book to pastors as they will face our returning warriors and their families at some point. Don't let this book pass you by, get it and prepare to be changed forever.
