Treatment of Service Members and Their Families
Living and Surviving in Harm's Way
Military members, law enforcement officers and other warriors live and
survive in combat situations frequently. The psychological impact of
being in harm's way with each deployment and the culture surrounding
these individuals must be understood by the behavioral health care
teams responsible for their care. These workshops and this manual
addresses these and other issues surrounding the combat preparation
of service men and women, their support system, their interpersonal
and intrapersonal experiences.
Dr. Sharon Morgillo Freeman has authored a book called "Living and
Surviving in Harm's Way: A Psychological Treatment Manual for Pre and
Post Deployment" along with her colleagues Capt. Bret Moore and Dr.
Arthur Freeman. The book focuses on cognitive behavioral
interventions for treating various combat related disorders and
addresses psychological health and adjustment after leaving the
battlefield and reintegrating back into the lives they put on hold. Part I
offers chapters on the preparation and training of service personnel for
combat duty. Part II considers the emotions and stresses of combat;
Part III presents treatments for the effects of combat experience, from
sleep disorders to PTSD; and Part IV offers chapters on the indirect
effects on family and the reintegration of the veteran in civilian
society.
This a book meant for the clinician who will be treating a service man or
woman who has been in harm’s way, members of her or his family, and
the veteran returning to the community.

“This is my Shield. I bear it
before me in battle, but it
is not mine alone. It
protects my brother/sister
on my left, it protects my
city. I will never let them
out if its shadow, nor my
city out of its shelter…..”
