Samenvatting:
Bridge the gap between military culture and meaningful change.The CARE Method counselor's manual is an essential resource for counselors dedicated to guiding service members and veterans toward meaningful and lasting behavioral change. Based on the risk-need-responsivity model and built around a deep understanding of military culture, this manual offers a structured, compassionate approach to working with a population that requires more than a generic curriculum.Inside, you'll discover:¿ Military culture and its clinical implications: Understand how combat experience, unit identity, reintegration stress, and the values instilled through service shape how your clients think, communicate, and respond in relationships, and how to use that understanding therapeutically.¿ Comprehensive strategies for a resistant population: Practical techniques for building rapport with court-mandated clients to navigate defensiveness and move clients from compliance to genuine accountability.¿ Brain health, TBI, and trauma: In-depth exploration of how traumatic brain injury, substance use, combat-conditioned stress responses, and intergenerational trauma affect behavior and what that means for how you deliver treatment.¿ A truly individualized approach: Step-by-step guidance on implementing the CARE Method in a way that responds to each client's specific risk level, needs, and responsivity factors, including the ones that are unique to military life.This manual gives counselors a clinically grounded framework that integrates theory with practice. It is not a one-size-fits-all program. It is a structured method built around who your clients actually are, and what this particular population needs to change."Ms. Buckley's thoughtful, comprehensive curriculum comes together with her compassionate yet no-nonsense approach to create an incredibly impactful and invaluable treatment program. I am thrilled to see it become available to a wider audience, as I wholeheartedly believe in its ability to affect countless lives for the better."
