PY-7010: Psychology of Veterans

This workshop considers the population of current and former sailors, marines, soldiers, and airmen to be a special population with a unique culture that merits understanding in order to competently care for these individuals. We will focus on understanding this culture and how this understanding can inform our work with military personnel with trauma-related mental health issues such as PTSD and military sexual trauma. The problem of suicidality among this population will be discussed. In addition, special emphasis will be on female sailors, marines, soldiers, and airmen and the mental health challenges they face. Therapies addressed in this workshop will include Cognitive Processing Therapy. The concept of Moral Injury will also be explored.
