Learn moreBeing back home can be as difficult, if not more so, than
the time spent serving in a combat zone. It's with this truth that Colonel
Charles W. Hoge, M.D., a leading advocate for eliminating the stigma of mental
health care, presents Once a Warrior—Always
a Warrior, a groundbreaking resource with essential new insights for anyone
who has ever returned home from a war zone.
In clear, practical language, Dr. Hoge explores the latest knowledge in combat
stress, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), mTBI (mild traumatic brain
injury), other physiological reactions to war, and their treatment options.
Recognizing that warriors and family members both change during deployment, he
helps them better understand each other's experience, especially living with
enduring survival skills from the combat environment that are often viewed as
"symptoms" back home. The heart of this book focuses on what's
necessary to successfully navigate
the transition—"LANDNAV" for the home front.
Once a Warrior—Always a Warrior
shows how a warrior's knowledge and skills are vital for living at peace in an
insane world.
Charles W. Hoge, M.D., is a nationally known expert on post-traumatic stress disorder, mild traumatic brain injury, and other physiological reactions to war, as well as treatment strategies for war-related conditions. Dr. Hoge's expertise spans psychiatry, trauma, public health, health policy, and infectious diseases. His articles in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association are the most frequently cited medical articles about the impact of the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. From 2002 through 2009, Dr. Hoge directed the top U.S. research program at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research on the psychological and neurological consequences of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He served as an attending psychiatrist at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, providing treatment to warriors and family members. He continues working with service members, veterans, and family members, and continues to be a passionate advocate for reducing the stigma of mental health care. Dr. Hoge has testified before the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives, and he has appeared on a number of radio and television programs, including The Diane Rehm Show, The Paula Zahn Show, and Talk of the Nation.
