Col. Charles W. Hoge, M.D., has made it his life’s work to help soldiers deal with the mental health repercussions of war and is a leading advocate for eradicating the stigma of receiving mental health care in the military. With this book, he reaches out to a larger community of veterans and their families. The Post-Combat Field Manual to Sanity is oriented toward all service members and veterans, but with an emphasis on the soldiers of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. It is also for family members, and it will help them gain greater understanding of ways they can help navigate the “PTSD paradox” exhibited by their loved one, while also helping veterans understand the experiences of their family members.
