More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Military medical history, at least since World War I, consistently points out that the successful management and treatment of combat-related stress disorders depends directly on timely, supportive therapy–provided as close to the battlefront as logistically possible. Regrettably, AF Military Treatment Facilities (MTF) don’t have standardized wartime plans for establishing forward- based psychiatric intervention teams at the second echelon of medical care. This research project explores the need for AF medical facilities to develop a standardized operational plan that provides guidance for establishing forward- based psychiatric intervention teams. In addition, this report provides basic guidelines for developing Special Psychological Intervention and ReIntegration Teams (SPIRITs) near the wartime second echelon 2E treatment facility
