Learn how to come back home after a tour of duty with less anxiety and stress with this comprehensive, bestselling guide for service members and their families that Senator Bob Dole calls, "a crucial tool for the men and women who have been serving our country so VALIANTLY."

The bravery displayed by our soldiers at war is commonly recognized. However, often forgotten is the courage required by veterans when they return home and suddenly face reintegration into their families, workplaces, and communities. Authored by three mental health professionals with many years of experience counseling veterans, Courage After Fire provides strategies and techniques for this challenging journey home.
Courage After Fire offers soldiers and their families a comprehensive guide to dealing with the all-too-common repercussions of combat duty, including posttraumatic stress symptoms, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. It details state-of-the-art treatments for these difficulties and outlines specific ways to improve couple and family relationships. It also offers tips on areas such as rejoining the workforce and reconnecting with children.

"A crucial tool for the men and women who have been serving our country so VALIANTLY during these past years."
--Senator Bob Dole, from the foreword

"This extraordinary work will help the men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan find the COURAGE to rebuild their lives and be successful." --Honorable Anthony J. Principi, Former Secretary of Veterans Affairs
