TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - "Detoxification" of Vietnam War trauma: a combined family-individual approach JO - Family Process A1 - Rosenheck, Robert Alan A1 - Thomson, J. SP - 559 EP - 570 VL - 25 IS - 4 N2 - Treatment with families of veterans suffering from the aftereffects of combat trauma in the Vietnam War often requires a preliminary phase of disjoint treatment, in which family members are seen separately, before conjoint treatment can proceed. In this disjoint phase of treatment, wives and children are introduced to the brutal realities of Vietnam combat experience and to an understanding of its sequelae. This disjoint phase of family therapy detoxifies combat experience so that it can be approached in subsequent conjoint sessions along with more traditional family therapy issues.
