In 1979 a program called Operation Outreach began to provide comprehensive and integrated psychosocial services to Vietnam veterans. The 136 vet centers, housed in storefronts and other nongovernment buildings, are staffed by Vietnam veterans and others knowledgeable about the horrors of that war; many of them are not mental health professionals. To date the centers have treated approximately 100,000 veterans out of the several hundred thousand who may be experiencing the effects of posttraumatic stress disorders. The author briefly discusses the history of the centers and describes the theoretical and clinical aspects of the program. Based on his clinical experience with veterans and on reports from vet center staff members, he outlines current information available on stress disorders of Vietnam veterans and explores their origins in war experiences and in the reception many veterans received when they returned home. He also describes which treatment methods are successful with troubled veterans and which are not.
1979年，一个名为“外展行动”的项目开始为越南退伍军人提供全面综合的心理社会服务。136个退伍军人中心设在店面及其他非政府建筑内，工作人员为越南退伍军人以及其他了解那场战争恐怖的人；其中许多人并非心理健康专业人员。到目前为止，这些中心已经治疗了几十万可能患有创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人中的约10万人。作者简要讨论了这些中心的历史，并描述了该项目的理论和临床方面。基于他对退伍军人的临床经验以及退伍军人中心工作人员的报告，他概述了目前关于越南退伍军人应激障碍的可用信息，并探讨了这些障碍在战争经历以及许多退伍军人回国后所受到待遇中的根源。他还描述了哪些治疗方法对有困扰的退伍军人有效，哪些无效。
