Treatment with families of veterans suffering from the aftereffects of combat trauma in the Vietnam War often requires a preliminary phase of disjoint treatment, in which family members are seen separately, before conjoint treatment can proceed. In this disjoint phase of treatment, wives and children are introduced to the brutal realities of Vietnam combat experience and to an understanding of its sequelae. This disjoint phase of family therapy detoxifies combat experience so that it can be approached in subsequent conjoint sessions along with more traditional family therapy issues.
对患有越战战斗创伤后遗症的退伍军人家庭进行治疗时，通常需要一个分开治疗的初步阶段，在此阶段，家庭成员会被分开接待，之后才能进行联合治疗。在这个分开治疗阶段，会让妻子和孩子了解越战战斗经历的残酷现实及其后遗症。家庭治疗的这个分开阶段能消除战斗经历带来的不良影响，以便在后续的联合治疗环节中，可以同时探讨更传统的家庭治疗问题以及战斗经历。
