Reviews
Brian Bride, editor-in-chief of Traumatology: An International Journal:
Mark Russell and Charles Figley provide a thorough and thoughtful analysis of how the U.S. military has historically failed to adequately manage the mental health problems that inevitably occur during and in the aftermath of military action, and they suggest potential solutions to prevent repeating such failures in the future.
