Figley Charles R. - Treating traumatic stress injuries in military personnel : an EMDR practitioner’s guide

Treating Traumatic Stress Injuries
in Military Personnel

Treating Traumatic Stress Injuries in Military Personnel: An EMDR Practitioners Guide offers a comprehensive treatment manual for mental health professionals treating traumatic stress injuries in both male and female veterans. It is the first book to combine the most recent knowledge about new paradigms of combat-related traumatic stress injuries (Figley & Nash, 2007) and offers a practical guide for treating the spectrum of traumatic stress injuries with EMDR, which has been recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense clinical practice guidelines as one of the most studied, efficient, and particularly well-suited evidence-based treatments for military-related stress injuries.

Russell and Figley introduce an array of treatment innovations designed especially for use with military populations, and readers will find pages filled with practical information, including appendices that feature a glossary of military terminology, breakdowns of rank and pay grades, and various clinical forms.

Mark C. Russell, PhD, is a retired U.S. Navy commander and board-certified clinical psychologist with 26 years of military experience. He is the author of multiple publications on war stress injuries and recipient of the 2006 Distinguished Psychologist Award by Washington State Psychological Association. Currently, he serves as chair of the PsyD program and founding director of the Institute of War Stress Injuries and Social Justice at Antioch University in Seattle.

Charles R. Figley, PhD, is the Paul Henry Kurzweg Distinguished Chair in Disaster Mental Health at Tulane University. A former Marine sergeant who served early in the Vietnam War, he went on to help pioneer the modern study and treatment of trauma and many innovations in helping the traumatized, including practitioners themselves, in his more than 200 scholarly articles, chapters, and books.
