Dear Site Visitor: Welcome! I have tried to make this site as simple and user-friendly as
possible. Please contact me
if you have any questions or if I can be of assistance.
Above are links to my publications, credentials, descriptions
of my programs of research, my doctoral students, and
humanitarian efforts -- including Hurricane
Katrina, my family, and more.
Among my passions, beyond my family and students is attending
to the enormous needs of our current generation of military troops,
veterans, and their families. No matter your opinions about war, you
might be interested in helping FSU collegiate
veterans or veteran
organizations at other colleges or universities. You might be
interested in veterans
health care, know a little bit about the history
of helping vets, or studying the immediate and long-term effects of
war service for the warfighters or their families, let me know.
A recent report on the terrible conditions of these troops are captured
in an Army
Mental Health (MHAT4) report. There is an excellent
book written by US soldier who survived a tour in Iraq . For
the families of those deployed, Sesame Street has partnered with Walmart
to offer a free Sesame Street DVD and kit. For ordering information:

I have been a member of the academy since 1971. I enjoy academic life,
particularly working with Ph.D.
students on their dissertations and other projects. I learn from
them as much as they learn from me. But my other passions involve
understanding and helping others help the traumatized and themselves.
I do this through my publications,
the journal and the Book
Series I edit, and my off-hours training
and lecturing throughout the world.
The
3rd
Annual Symposium on Combat Stress Injuries was held May 13th
and was very successful. Next year it will be held at Tulane University
in New Orleans. The focus will be on the the most critical issues to better prepare
for their care once they return. The Annual Symposium lead to a Traumatology
Special Issues on the:Deployment
Effects on Troops and their Families.
Most of my energies, however, are devoted my family, my courses, students,
and research here, for now, at Tulane University in New Orleans (USA)
.
I hope that my web site links are useful to you and would like to
know what you think.
Sincerely,
Charles
