  • Military-Related PTSD and Working with Couples in Private Practice: Emotion-Focused Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Evolutionary Perspective
    Article 15 Military-Related PTSD and Working With Couples in Private Practice: Emotion-Focused Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Evolutionary Perspective Sabina de Vries de Vries, Sabina, is an assistant professor at Texas A&M University–San Antonio and a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Approved Counselor Supervisor, and a Nationally Certified Counselor. In addition, she maintains a busy part-time private practice in which she provides services to clients from all walks of life. Some of her work is focused on trauma-related concerns. Abstract The aim of this article is to provide information and treatment suggestions to mental health services providers who work with couples with trauma-related problems. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment dropout rates, evolutionary perspective of PTSD, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), emotionally focused couples therapy, and psychoeducational strategies are discussed. A hypothetical case example is provided to illustrate how psychoeducation and information pertaining to trauma responses and evolution can be integrated with emotion-focused therapy to work with traumatized persons/couples in a private practice setting. Keywords: evolution, emotion-focused therapy, PTSD, psychoeducation Being exposed to traumatic events and war can lead to the development of trauma-related conditions (Warden, 2006). Lately, there has been an increase of interest in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to recent military involvements (Warden, 2006). These military engagements have led to a substantial number of service men and women developing PTSD (Hoge et al., 2008). A large scale U.S. epidemiology study found that about one third of those affected develop chronic PTSD and fail to recover even years later.

Developing Educational Groups in Social Work Practice Abstract Education is integral to social work practice with groups and a central component of educational groups. Yet the social work literature has not offered much guidance in the development of educational groups other than to report on the content and/or evaluation of groups that are focused on a specific condition or population. This paper offers a generic process model for educational groups that are developed and led by social workers. The educational groups described here are differentiated from psychoeducational groups, which are treatment-oriented. The paper provides guidelines on how to set up educational groups with particular attention to their structure, content of the curriculum, implementation, and evaluation. Two checklists are offered to assist in the development and implementation and evaluation of educational groups. Keywords education, psychoeducation, groups, social work Disciplines Social Work Comments Reprinted from Social Work with Groups, Volume 26, Issue 2, 2003, pages 5-21.
