Everyone agrees that our troops deserve a return to productive and creative lives after service. Yet in spite of billions spent on psychological care and reintegration programs, we face an epidemic of combat-related conditions like PTSD. What’s the solution?

With Warrior’s Return, Dr. Edward Tick reveals what’s missing in our approach to bringing our veterans back from war. While most trauma treatment programs focus on symptom reduction or temporary relief, Dr. Tick presents a comprehensive vision for healing the soul-level wounds of war. Here he offers proven strategies drawn from cross-cultural wisdom, mythical archetypes, and his 35 years of experience helping veterans, families, and caregivers cope with the life-changing effects of combat.

“No society is healthy without a healthy, functioning elder warrior class,” states Dr. Tick.  Warrior’s Return offers step-by-step guidance for initiating our veterans back into the community-an essential map for the hero’s journey home.
