Abstract
At the time of this writing, 20 years of research have revealed exciting insights linking trauma with the brain and body. Clinicians now know how stressful life experience can create autonomic nervous system arousal that can lead to symptoms associated with a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The founders of this movement include Beatrice Beebe and Frank Lachman (2002), Allan Schore (2003), Daniel Stern (2004), Pat Ogden (2009), Joseph Scaer (2005), Daniel Siegel (2012), Bessel Van Der Kolk (2006), and Peter Fonagy (2001), to name only a few. The exciting field of melding neuroscience with attachment theory and trauma is an important component of understanding and treating military sexual trauma. Unfortunately, this rapidly evolving field has yet to be incorporated into the US government’s policy on funding psychotherapies for research on veterans diagnosed with PTSD and other mental health concerns. This has to change.
