• Mapping Trauma and Its Wake: Autobiographic Essays by Pioneer Trauma Scholars by John P. Wilson.
  I am forwarding a Chapter from a new book soon to be published, written by a dear friend of mine who was one of only 10 selected renowned pioneers/experts in PTSD from throughout the world. He has given me permission to forward a copy of his contribution to this book to whomever I would like and quite frankly you E-Troopers (also Charlie Wood and his Hill 4-11 website) were the first to come to mind. (I wonder why) In any event, I've heard a lot of chatter and questions thru the E-Troopers emails about PTSD and know most of you have now been awarded a VA Disability Rating for it many years after the fact. I hope this helps in your understanding it's time lag for your ratings, treatment and of it's origins, depth and meaning. I believe we all owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Wilson for his help in bring about the changes needed to grant ALL COMBAT VETERANS what they rightly deserve, understanding and help!
