Reviews
Plate's account skillfully combines personal memoir with institutional analysis; they strikingly dovetail when the dysfunctions of "America's largest integrated healthcare system" compel her to become a witness to human suffering. She vividly recounts the grim challenges of working with a beleaguered population that was prone to violence and often desperate, alienated, and haunted by the trauma of war.The author provides an astute account of various treatment strategies and their evolution over time as well as the impact of shifting public policy from one presidential administration to the next. She also incisively details how unempirical idealism can be theenemy of sound strategy, noting how "policy wonks in Washington" can be "divorced from reality." In fact, she tells of how she grappled often with idealism herself--specifically, an unfounded conceit that she could always repair the damage done to her patient.Plate's remembrance is as endearing as it is tough, offering a poignant but unsentimental look at an underserved group of Americans and the people trying to help them save themselves. A wise, unflinching memoir that candidly discusses an underappreciated segment of the American citizenry.
Synopsis
* A social worker's first-hand account of working with war veterans* An insight into the state of mind of soldiers exposed to the traumas of war* A raw look at the struggles confronting returning soldiers and their fight to survive beyond the battlefield, Enter the Kafkaesque world of America's famous but notorious Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), where returning soldiers seek a new start to the rest of their lives. Can they overcome the traumas of war, and military service, if they are also at war with the VA? The answer is both No - government bureaucracy can be as formidable a foe as that on any battlefield or in the barracks - and Yes, given veterans' willingness to face the demons of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), drug addiction and other military-related traumas with the help of fiercely committed social workers, psychologists and healthcare experts. Andrea Plate, author and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, spent 15 years working with America's wounded warriors. From battlefield to bedside to group talk-therapy, she exposes the human face of war, up close and personal, and some of the most remarkably resilient souls who survived it.
