Increasingly, civilian mental health clinicians will be enlisted to evaluate and treat active duty and post-deployment military service members of the OIF/OEF theaters, as well as veterans of previous wars. This article provides a summary of some of the effective psychological treatment modalities for military service members that can be adapted to outpatient psychotherapeutic practice, including structured psychological interventions and specialized techniques of individual psychotherapy, with special applications for dealing with combat stress, depression, suicidality, conflicts over killing, brain injury effects, family issues, post-deployment readjustment, and long-term problems. By adapting and integrating psychotherapeutic lessons learned from treating related populations of law enforcement and emergency services personnel, clinicians who treat military service members and vets can become more flexible, well-rounded, and effective clinicians for a wide variety of high-need service members.
越来越多的平民心理健康临床医生将被招募来评估和治疗伊拉克自由行动/持久自由行动战区的现役军人和部署后军人,以及以往战争的退伍军人。本文总结了一些对军人有效的心理治疗方式,这些方式可适用于门诊心理治疗实践,包括结构化心理干预和个体心理治疗的专门技术,以及应对战斗压力、抑郁、自杀倾向、杀人冲突、脑损伤影响、家庭问题、部署后重新适应和长期问题的特殊应用。通过借鉴治疗执法和应急服务人员相关群体所学到的心理治疗经验,并进行调整和整合,治疗军人和退伍军人的临床医生可以成为更灵活、全面且有效的临床医生,为各类有高需求的服役人员提供服务。
