Excerpt
The United States has long recognized the challenges its military members face on return from war (Leventman 1978; Wecter 1944). Concerns surrounding the ability of military members to successfully reintegrate into civilian society have resulted from the recognition that aggressive behavior that may be adaptive or necessary on the battlefield may persist on return and that exposure to the trauma of war may result in a variety of negative emotional and behavioral consequences. Although psychiatrists and other clinicians have long observed psychological changes on return from battle, medical science has struggled to develop a clear description of the symptoms, etiology, and course of war-related psychiatric disorders.
