Veterans, trauma, etc.

[Karen Carnabucci]

Just hosted a psychologist, Ed Tick, Ph.D., who is doing some very
leading-edge work with veterans, especially using story telling, Native
American ritual, sociodrama, depth psychology, and other experiential
methods. He is from Albany, N.Y., and trained briefly at Beacon many
years ago. His program here was very fruitful here with veterans and
their families, and although I think I know a lot about trauma, I
learned more about the veteran and war experience and how it is
different than what we think of as typical trauma and how we treat it.
 
He was interested in current advances in psychodrama, and I described to
him information about the Therapeutic Spiral Model, the model's
Containing Double intervention, and other psychodramatic advances. 
 
He would make a great keynote speaker for regionalized programs and
conferences. I know it is too late for the April conference, but I
highly suggest that ASGPP and psychodramatists in general connect with
him.
 
His site is www.mentorthesoul.com.
 
He is working to create safe return programs across the U.S. for
returning service people; see www.soldiersheart.net.
 
His book is "War and the Soul: Healing Our Nation's Veterans from Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder."
