The book edited by Charles R. Figley and William P. Nash deserves the highest attention as well as the highest evaluation.
Among the international authors of chapters of this extraordinary book are military workers as well as veterans, researchers, practitioners (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and rehabilitation workers), and priests. The chapters of this book show that combat stress may be overridden through prevention, and pre-combat educational programmes, stress reduction methods during combat, and desensitization programmes (directly after exposure). The book Combat Stress Injury: Theory, Research, and Management, edited by Charles R. Figley and William P. Nash, may be a valuable source of knowledge for the clinical workers – psychologists, and psychiatrists as well as for the students of psychology, medicine, pedagogics, and resocialization.
