NYPSI Extension Program: The Mental Life of a Combat Vet
Armed conflict between different communities of humanity has been recorded for millennia. The effects of involvement in war on the lives of combatant soldiers and their families have over the centuries been extensively reported in histories, literature, and medical writings. The particular psychological consequences of involvement in combat have been the focus of attention and study for more than a hundred years, including in the psychoanalytic literature.
The course will be given by 3 psychiatrists, 2 of whom are psychoanalysts and one of whom is a retired US Army Major psychiatrist who treated soldiers in the field of combat in Afghanistan, and all of whom have extensive experience in working with veterans. The course will address issues of the history of psychoanalytic thought in regard to trauma, current dynamically informed treatment of veterans and the importance of the dynamics of the individual combat vet.
