A must read for clinicians, veterans and their loved ones

Edward Tick's work is unique and dynamic. The use of Joseph Campbell like writing was riviting and powerful. As a clinician and wife of a war veteran, his book is one of the best out there and offers a different and important look at the subject.

Soul Soothing

I got this for a friend suffering from PTSD from the Vietnam war and read it before giving it to him. The author does a magnificant job explainly why we, as a society need to address why we still have war and warriors. If we can't stop war (or until we do)we certainly are compelled to treat these warriors in a special fashion which entails bearing some of the burdens these warriors suffer for us. We might not agree with the policies of administrations but the soldiers who suffer the consequences deserve our respect and admiration and especially our emotional support for doing their duty. Every politician who has the ability to send our troops into battle should be required to read this book (and do some counseling!)to fully understand the emotional toll of war. Amazing that a therapist would be willing to look beyond "pills and talking" to see that PTSD is a soul disorder. Kudos to Mr. Tick for caring enough to do so.

This is the roadmap

A Vietnam veteran and activist had suggested I pick up Dr. Tick's book when I first began research for mine, Moving A Nation to Care: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and America's Returning Troops. It soon became clear to me upon opening War and the Soul's pages that this would be one of the most significant of volumes that I would read on the issue. I believe Dr. Tick has written the blueprint for the direction we need to take our nation in order to begin to heal our wounds as well as those of our returning soldiers. Vital reading.

War in the Soul

Great reading if you are a Viet Nam Vet or somebody working with Viet Nam vets in a medical setting.

Understanding our Service Members

I think this is a must read for all of us who are not part of the military effort in this war on terrorism. It is not the easiest read, but it presented me with a new understanding of the deeper impact that the war has on those who are serving. Very sobering.
