Veterans, trauma, etc.

[Ann Hale]

Always good to have another resource. Joseph Duehl,LCSW, TEP and recipient of Zerka T. Moreno award directed a PTSD unit at the VA medical Center in Salem, VA for over 15 years, and often presented at ASGPP and other conferences. The unit's program featured a residential treatment approach with a ropes course for cohesion/trust building,  daily psychodrama and a trip to war memorials in DC. I always wished they would write it up but they have always been hard at work with vets. He is available at JDUEHL at runet.edu   Ann Hale

  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."
