About this Course Module
This presentation provides an overview of risk and resiliency factors
predict the course of patient's functioning following exposure to
combat. This course, in particular, focuses on the clinician's increased
awareness of possible growth factors that occur in conjunction to
traumatic exposure (e.g., greater appreciation, maturation) and ways to
encourage growth and strength. Additionally, specific risk and
resiliency factors are addressed in greater detail (i.e., social
support) for the participant.
Goal: This course provides an overview of risk and resiliency factors
that might influence the course of psychopathology or health following
exposure to traumatic stress.
Objectives: After viewing the presentation, the
participant will be able to:
- Describe specific
pre-combat, combat, and post-combat risk factors that might increase
their odds of suffering PTSD
- Define
resilience from multiple perspectives, as well as apply a "strength" perspective to treatment interventions with combat veterans suffering
from PTSD
