War and the Soul:
Healing Our Nation’s Veterans from Post-traumatic
Stress Disorder
Edward Tick, Ph.D.
Book: $19.95 - Paper Quest Books
DVD: $15.95 [$17.95 PAL] - A brief 90 minute synopsis of War and the Soul Quest Books
The key to healing post-traumatic stress disorder, says psychotherapist
Ed Tick, is in how we understand PTSD. In war’s overwhelming violence,
the soul—the true self—flees and can become lost for life. He redefines
PTSD as a true identity disorder, with radical implications for therapy.
First, Tick establishes the traditional context of war in mythology
and religion. Then he describes in depth PTSD in terms of identity
issues. Finally, drawing on world spiritual traditions, he presents
ways to nurture a positive identity based in compassion and forgiveness.
War and the Soul will change the way we think about war, for veterans
and for all those who love and want to help them. It shows how to
make the wounded soul whole again. When this work is achieved, PTSD
vanishes and the veteran can truly return home.
