The Alchemy of Combat: Transforming Trauma in Combat Veterans

The Alchemy of Combat is a process of breakdown and renewal, and from that breakdown can come the transformational discovery of meaning and purpose, of a higher awareness with an expanded and inspired worldview, and uplifting happiness for the soul. Larry R. Decker Ph.D. provides a guide through this process for therapists as well as family, friends, loved ones, colleagues and others caring for combat veterans who are seeking to move through Posttraumatic Stress Disorder into a renewal of life through Posttraumatic Growth.

Larry R. Decker, Ph.D., has specialized in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder for thirty-four years, as a clinical supervisor at a Vet Center, a tenured professor, a contract/provider with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and as the author of many technical articles ranging from information processing to the spiritual nature of trauma. He has studied universal Sufism since 1973.
