Patient Advice for Those "Home from War"

Patience Mason, author of one of the finest post-Vietnam era books on healing from combat trauma and PTSD (see sidebar), has released a wonderful article on her blog about how to handle coming "home from war."  She directs readers to the PDF copy of the article if they'd like to read it in its most legible form.  That article is linked directly here, from her publishing company, Patience Press.  If you want to learn more about Patience Mason (and you should!), here's a link to more information she's provided.  Her book, Recovering from War, is one of the seminal works on combat trauma and its effect on veterans and their families alike.  Well worth reading and well worth familiarizing yourself with.  Patience is often said to be a virtue - but this Patience is also a very important ally for veterans and families in recovering from PTSD.
