Presenter: Harold Kudler, M.D. (Washington, DC)
Discussant: Norman M. Camp, M.D. (Richmond, VA)
The Service Member and Veterans Initiative (SVI) seeks to guide the American Psychoanalytic Association’s efforts to elucidate and alleviate the psychological trauma of war. This requires articulation of the concept of traumatic stress in terms that can be shared and acted upon across a broad range of theoretical perspectives, mental health disciplines, and systems of care. This presentation by Harold Kudler, Chief Consultant for Mental Health for the Department of Veterans Affairs and SVI Chair, will offer a common language for understanding psychological trauma and propose a practical path for implementing this perspective in direct work with patients and their families, clinical supervision, teaching, research, and enhancement of systems of care.
