초록

본 논문의 목적은 외상 후 스트레스 장애를 가진 퇴역 군인에게 어떻게 심리사회적 문제가 발생하는지 연구하고 어떻게 하면 도움 전문가들이 그들의 사회 재적응을 도울 수 있는지 기술하는데 있다. 문헌 분석을 바탕으로 저자는 외상 후 스트레스 장애를 가진 퇴역 군인들의 심리사회적 문제의 원인을 찾아보고, 다양한 도움의 방법을 검토하며, 외상 후 스트레스 장애를 가진 퇴역 군인의 심리사회적 이슈에 개입할 때 도움 전문가들이 알아야 할 중요한 요소들을 제시한다. 문헌 분석에 의하면 외상 후 스트레스 장애를 가진 퇴역 군인의 심리사회적 문제는 권위를 가진 그룹에 대한 그들의 불신 그리고 혐오감과 관계가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 외상 후 스트레스 장애를 가진 퇴역군인의 독특한 경험을 공유하고 이해할 수 있는 사람들에게 조금 더 개방적인 특성을 감안할 때 집단 상담은 외상 후 스트레스 장애의 증상 뿐 만 아니라 파생된 심리사회적 문제를 경감시키는 데 사용할 수 있다.

The purpose of this article is to investigate how returning veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develop psycho-social issues and describe how helping professionals can assist them with re-adapting to the community. Based on a literature review, the author explores the causes of psycho-social issues of returning veterans with PTSD, reviews various ways of helping, and proposes critical factors that helping professionals should be aware of when intervening in psycho-social issues of returning veterans with PTSD. It is found that psycho-social issues of returning veterans with PTSD are closely related to their distrust and aversion to authorities. Group therapy can be used as a viable intervention for alleviating PTSD symptoms and derived psycho-social issues in terms that veterans with PTSD tend to more open with other group members who can share and understand unique experiences.
