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.
