This paper reviews literature on the detrimental effect of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder on the family. The literature indicates that guilt feelings, emotional withdrawal and elevated levels of aggression in the returning veteran make it difficult, perhaps even impossible, for him to fully resume his former roles of father, husband and breadwinner. Wives and children of veterans show psychiatric symptoms. Despite these hardships, the families are generally reluctant to seek professional help. The clinical implications are discussed and suggestions are made for intervention and outreach.
本文综述了关于与战斗相关的创伤后应激障碍对家庭的有害影响的文献。文献表明,返乡退伍军人的内疚感、情感退缩和攻击性增强,使他难以甚至可能无法完全恢复其作为父亲、丈夫和养家糊口者的从前角色。退伍军人的妻子和孩子表现出精神症状。尽管有这些困难,这些家庭通常不愿寻求专业帮助。本文讨论了临床意义,并提出了干预和推广建议。
