Ptsd And Me: Healing Injured Minds: True Stories About Attachments

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a recognizable, yet misunderstood, condition. Thousands of Soldiers return from the War on Terror suffering from PTSD. PTSD demands understanding. How can the public support our Soldiers when so many suffer from an injury of the mind? How can they help? Affected Soldiers are too often portrayed as violent and erratic, but Dr. Brown knows better. Since 2005, he has treated thousands of Soldiers with PTSD. While there are some exceptions, most of these Soldiers suffer quietly, but fear more terrorist attacks here. PTSD and Me, Healing Injured Minds, tells the stories of these injured heroes. The result is an insightful, poignant exploration of individual lives torn apart by brutal memories. "Some chapters were difficult to read, especially the pages about Jack Scott. I remember those days well; they were rough. I am forever grateful to you, our Heavenly Father and Jack's passion for cycling. All three helped heal him, you being the catalyst and cycling being a therapy of its own, God being a constant companion. Our life is good, not without stress, but we have fun." Soldier's wife As a retired United States Army Reserves Medical Corps Colonel and a psychiatrist, Dr. Robert S. Brown served his country as a Soldier, doctor, and university professor. He graduated from the University of Virginia Medical School and holds a PhD in education. He has forty years of experience in private psychiatric practice and university professorship. He's the author of Textbook for Mental Health. He's won numerous awards, including the Army's Legion of Merit and the Distinguished Life Fellowship of the American Psychiatric Association. Perhaps Dr. Gagon's words, (Former Chief, Behavioral Health, Military Treatment Facility) recounts Dr. Brown's successes best: "You are a wise and caring healer with unbending dedication to the people you serve. I know because each time I hear laughter come from your group room I know someone has let go of their pain and suffering long enough to experience the healing benefits of human connectedness."
