When servicewomen and men leave the armed forces, their care transfers to the statutory and third sector where the quality and provision of services can vary enormously. This edited book, encompassing a range of perspectives, from service user to professional, provides a comprehensive overview of services available. Each chapter, in turn, examines the policy underpinnings of systems and services covering the psychological health and social care of military veterans and then focuses on the needs of a discrete number of types of military veterans including early service leavers, veterans in the criminal justice system, older veterans and reservists, together with the needs of the children of veterans'families.This is the first UK book to examine the whole spectrum of contemporary approaches to the psychological health and social care of military veterans both in the United Kingdom and overseas. The book is edited by Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes, a former head of healthcare psychology within the UK Ministry of Defence and all contributors are experts in policy, service provision and academic research in this area. It will be of special interest to those designing and planning, commissioning, managing and delivering mental health and social care to military veterans and their families

Dit boek richt zich op de behandeling van ernstig getraumatiseerde mensen, zoals oorlogsgetroffenen, vluchtelingen en asielzoekers, veteranen, mensen met ernstige beroepsgerelateerde traumatisering (zoals brandweerpersoneel, politiepersoneel, treinpersoneel) en personen met problematiek ten gevolge van vroegkinderlijke traumatisering. Voor het eerst wordt de toepassing van concrete behandelmethoden voor complex trauma beschreven. De auteurs passen daarbij CGT-methodieken toe. Het driefasenmodel (stabilisatie, verwerking, integratie) dient als aanknopingspunt. De specifieke kenmerken en behoeften van verschillende cliëntengroepen waarbij complex trauma voorkomt, komen aan bod. Ten slote beschrijven de auteurs de gevolgen van het werken met complex trauma voor de behandelaar.
