In the Shadow of War: Memories of a Soldier and Therapist

Rating:
Summary: Great book for therapists
Review: This Israeli Psychologist and Soldier tells about his extremely intense experiences in combat from 5 different wars and his experiences as a therapist to those who also suffer from the effects of constantly living with war or impending war. He presents it from a profoundly human level, and even includes the difficulty he and others experienced when they did not agree with the prevailing politicians who directed the war efforts. It is an amazingly courageous work. Stronly recommend it to all mental health professionals who serve combat veterans, their families, or those who have lived in war torn countries.
