Encompassing, lots of food for thought, covers a wide range of topics. This is a great handbook with many excellent resources, especially for those newer to the military lifestyle." --Theresa D. Lupcho, Military Clinical Psychologist, Fort Benning, Georgia "When the Warrior Returns is a unique, easy-to-use, comprehensive, and tightly edited resource for military family members--as well as an excellent single-source complementary text for health care professionals who need to garner additional skills and exclusive insights that might not otherwise be so readily attainable, detailed, or thorough. The book's collaborative and full spectrum of up-to-date topics, researched and authored by an array of experts--a well-done virtual 'E Pluribus Unum' approach--cannot be afforded justice by a single endorsement or review. This complete work will become a definitive 'Best Practices' foundation guide for all individuals in any relationships or positions who wish to render the utmost professional service and personal support to those who need it--and to those who deserve it--the most." --Jon M. Corey, U.S. Army combat veteran, university professor, contributing editor, Leadership Moments: Turning Points That Changed Lives and Organizations "When the Warrior Returns: Making the Transition at Home is an excellent overview of the issues and any warrior or family may face as the warrior returns home. The book is written in a straight forward and realistic manner addressing the challenges these families face including many practical tips and recommendations. I would strongly recommend this book to families and practitioners alike as it clearly outlines the challenges, makes realistic recommendations and provides numerous valuable resources. Should be a part of every military or VA practitioner's library." --David L. Kennedy, LCSW, CAPT, MSC, USN (Ret.)
