Description
The military represents a unique culture, one which consists of its own belief systems, norms of behavior, laws, ethos, and even language. Evaluation and treatment of service members can be difficult at best, and ineffective at worst, when military cultural variables are not considered. Variables such as specific occupation, unit mission, rank, deployment history, family dynamics in the context of military service, leadership, motivation to serve, and command resources – to name a few – all can have a profound impact on case conceptualizations, treatment strategies, and ultimate fitness for duty determinations. This presentation will provide assessment techniques unique to service members which will enhance rapport, improve the accuracy of case conceptualization, and increase the efficacy of provider recommendations.
