"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation with Dr. Frank Ochberg"

Charles A. Pfaff, Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army

Dr. Frank Ochberg understands post-traumatic stress syndrome and in this program provides a comprehensive and accessible account describing what PTSD is, how one can recognize it, and how one can deal with it. Ultimately, Dr. Ochberg's message is a message of hope. While the costs of leaving PTSD un-treated are high; the costs of treating it are not. Those with the syndrome can be treated and continue to serve in the military. This video is a must-see for all military leaders who wish to understand, mitigate, and de-stigmatize the effects of this illness that affects many of our soldiers.

"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation with Dr. Frank Ochberg"

Megan Turak
Executive Vice-President
The Military Family Network
www.emilitary.org

"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation with Dr. Frank Ochberg" is Gift From Within's response to the overwhelming demand on our military service members and their families for repeated deployments and the likelihood that these service members and families reside in remote communities located outside of military bases and formal channels of military support. Therefore, Gift From Within seeks to increase the knowledge, skills, tools and resources of civilians likely to be involved with the military community in these instances.

The intended audience for this DVD is professionals, clinicians, counselors or really anyone seeking to understand more about PTSD and this is especially true for those coming into direct contact with military service members, veterans and their families. Dr. Ochberg provides meaningful insights into understanding the roots of PTSD, its causes and expression while offering professionals advice, techniques and innovative perspectives on how to approach treatment with individuals suffering from trauma who may be experiencing symptoms of PTSD. Most importantly, however, he offers hope both to the professional and the individual that a quality life - albeit a changed life- can be restored. He demonstrates how professionals, who may never have encountered this special population in their day-to-day practices, can use their diverse educational and experiential backgrounds in unique ways to help. This DVD is a "must-watch" for everyone coming into contact with our military community under these circumstances and for our military, political and veteran leadership as well since Dr. Ochberg provides keen observations about how our current system for ensuring benefits based on diagnosis may work against the long term well being of the service member and veteran.

"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation with Dr. Frank Ochberg"

David Read Johnson, Ph.D. and Hadar Lubin, MD, Directors, Post Traumatic Stress Center, New Haven, Connecticut; and the Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine

"This remarkable new DVD brings wise words from a wise man, Dr. Frank Ochberg, on the treatment of returning veterans from the Iraq war. Dr. Ochberg, a pioneer in traumatic stress, is interviewed by reporter Mike Walters on all aspects of PTSD, trauma, and the truly humanistic treatment of suffering individuals. Emphasizing a thoughtful, holistic, and optimistic view of PTSD, Dr. Ochberg provides expert guidance to clinicians on handling the dual needs of support and exposure that are essential elements to PTSD treatment today. Relying on up-to-date research, Dr. Ochberg speaks cogently and sincerely about the use of medications, specialized techniques, and basic therapeutic strategies that will be most useful to therapists confronted with the challenges posed by returning veterans. This is a beautiful, moving, and professionally-produced DVD that should be seen by every therapist who works with PTSD patients."

"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation with Dr. Frank Ochberg"

Dr. Kathleen Nader is a clinician and consultant who has worked, nationally and internationally, for over 20 years in the field of Trauma, Violence and Bereavement.

"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation With Dr. Frank Ochberg," is a DVD for clinicians who might find themselves anticipating work with war veterans. It is a well-filmed and nicely presented interview with Dr. Frank Ochberg, a pioneer in the field of trauma. Although the DVD's primary focus is soldiers and aspects of treating their responses to current war experiences, Dr. Ochberg speaks about issues important to clinicians who treat trauma, in general, as well as those specific to treating soldiers traumatized by war. Dr. Ochberg provides the prerequisites for work with veterans and important cautions for therapists new to work with trauma survivors. Among the relevant issues elaborated are expectations for recovery; symptoms such as traumatic imagery, injuries to the self, and loss of normalcy; collaborating with families; and survivor guilt. Dr. Ochberg discusses the use of a method that, when well-timed, can be used effectively as a part of treatment (the counting method). This DVD provides answers to a well-chosen set of questions about working with war veterans and other trauma-exposed adults. It is an important media presentation for new clinicians and trauma clinicians anticipating work with veterans.

"PTSD & Veterans: A Conversation with Dr. Frank Ochberg"

Dr. Bonnie Green. Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Research, and Director of Trauma Studies in the School of Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital.

I enjoyed the DVD. The program conveys a hopeful message to therapists about treating individuals with PTSD, and normalizes and demystifies PTSD in a way that should make therapists more comfortable working with these patients. It provided a good clinical characterization of the disorder that will give therapists a real feel for PTSD and for how it is to work with these patients. There were many practical suggestions and a strong grounding in traditional psychotherapy practice. The section on military sexual trauma was excellent in helping the therapist to understand the perspective of the women who have experienced this (e.g., that is it's like a family trauma/incest). "PTSD & Veterans With Dr. Frank Ochberg," was very upbeat with an optimistic tone but it is also realistic about the work involved and the outcomes.

"Gift From Within and Frank M. Ochberg, M.D. strike video gold again. Their newest program, "PTSD & Veterans - A Conversation with Frank Ochberg" provides a pleasant, deep understanding of PTSD that provides specific focus on our honored U.S. Veterans. Dr. Ochberg shares outstanding scientific knowledge, metaphors, and wisdom with reporter Mike Walter in a peaceful, clear manner that is able to provide simple, easy to understand explanations of the complex phenomena of PTSD with its various forms and manifestations. Clearly, Dr. Ochberg has had tremendous experience with understanding and treating PTSD and is an exemplary teacher and communicator on this sensitive issue. With our veterans returning from war, this is a must see program for everyone with a loved one who was in war."

Many sparkling gems of insight into the complexities of treating combat PTSD are mined in this heartfelt film that draws from Frank Ochberg's 30+ years of working with traumatic stress. Important themes of solid, evidence-based, trauma treatment are applied toward treating our returning veterans. It is a wonderful primer for those beginning or considering treating this quickly growing and very deserving client population.
