Over the past 9 years approximately 2 million U.S. military personnel have deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq and Operation Enduring Freedom in and around Afghanistan. It has been estimated that 5-17% of service members returning from these deployments are at significant risk for combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many of these returning war veterans will seek medical and mental health care in academic health centers. This paper reviews the unique stressors that are related to the development of combat-related PTSD. It also reviews evidence-based approaches to the assessment and treatment of PTSD, research needed to evaluate treatments for combat-related PTSD, and opportunities and challenges for clinical psychologists working in academic health centers.
在过去9年里，约200万美国军事人员被部署到伊拉克以支持伊拉克自由行动，以及阿富汗境内和周边地区以支持持久自由行动。据估计，从这些部署地区返回的军人中有5%至17%面临与战斗相关的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的重大风险。许多归来的退伍军人将在学术健康中心寻求医疗和心理健康护理。本文回顾了与战斗相关的PTSD发展相关的独特压力源。它还回顾了基于证据的PTSD评估和治疗方法、评估与战斗相关的PTSD治疗所需的研究，以及在学术健康中心工作的临床心理学家面临的机遇和挑战。
