Home from the war: learning from Vietnam veterans by Robert Jay Lifton instant download

"Home from the War is a work of major importance, integrating approaches
derived from behavioral and social sciences, medicine, history and, above all,
based upon a profound respect for humanity."
—G. F. Solomon, M.D., New England Journal of Medicine 
In Home from the War, the award-winning author and noted psychiatrist Robert
Jay Litton offers a powerful critique of American militarism during the Vietnam
War. Recognized as the ultimate text for those working with Vietnam veterans,
the book's insights have had enormous influence among psychologists and psy¬
chiatrists all over the world.
Lifton's new preface connects the experience of Vietnam veterans with that of
veterans of the war in Iraq. Both were brought into the "atrocity producing situations" that led to My Lai and Abu Ghraib. Lifton raises the possibility that Iraq
veterans could experience the kind of healing transformation that many who
fought in Vietnam were able to achieve.
