本文旨在阐明对军队文化和经验的理解，以便更好地构建民间临床医生的服务框架。被灌输到这种有影响力的文化中的服役人员在重新进入更大的社会时可能会遇到适应问题，因此专业顾问和社会工作者必须准备好与资深客户一起解决重新融入社会的过程。此外，本文着重介绍了一些在退伍军人中普遍存在的主要心理健康问题，特别是那些从伊拉克自由行动(OIF)和持久自由行动(OEF)返回的退伍军人，并简要概述了军队内外实施的治疗方式。对于对军队知之甚少或一无所知的临床医生，讨论了实用的治疗建议。其目标是教育和培养平民心理健康从业人员，以管理对文化敏感的预防和干预服务，以满足这一群体的独特需求。
This article aims to elucidate an understanding of military culture and experience, so as to better frame the services offered by civilian clinicians. Service members indoctrinated into such an influential culture can experience adjustment problems upon reentry into the larger society, and thus professional counselors and social workers must be ready to address the reintegration process with veteran clients. Furthermore, this article highlights a few of the major mental health concerns that are prevalent in combat veterans, especially for those returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), and presents a brief overview of treatment modalities implemented both within and outside of the military. Practical therapeutic suggestions for clinicians with little or no knowledge of the military are discussed. The objective is to educate and prepare civilian mental health practitioners to administer culturally sensitive prevention and intervention services to meet the unique needs of this population.
