Combat stress injury : theory, research and management / edited by Charles R Figley and William P Nash - London : Routledge, 2007 - xxi, 341 p.

Emphasises the importance of perceiving combat stress as an injury rather than a disorder. This collection of papers brings together contributions from the USA, UK, Canada, and Israel. Papers are arranged in three main sections: the first provides a theoretical and conceptual basis for understanding and managing combat stress injuries, part two summarizes the research literature that supports the models outlined in part one, and part three (which occupies about half the book) describes how postoperational combat stress injuries can be managed before, during, and especially after operations.
