A guide to the transition from combat to home

Charles Hoge’s handbook examines the adjustment from a combat environment to life at home, including how deployment can affect both service members and their families. It covers combat stress, PTSD, mild traumatic brain injury, other physiological responses to war, and treatment options. A central framework, described as “LANDNAV” for the home front, organizes the book’s practical approach to navigating this transition. The discussion also considers how survival skills developed in combat may be interpreted differently in civilian life, offering a way to understand these experiences in context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Service members returning from a war zone who want information about readjustment and combat-related stress.
  • Spouses, partners, and family members seeking context for how deployment can affect home life.
  • Readers seeking a practical overview of PTSD, mTBI, and treatment options related to combat experiences.

Book overview

The essential handbook for anyone who has ever returned from a war zone, and their spouse, partner, or family members.

 

Being 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, MD, 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.
