Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to explore how the Intersystem Approach can be applied to combat veterans experiencing sexual problems related to post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and severe wounds. Thousands of combat veterans have returned home with injuries and traumatic memories that are influencing their overall functioning. The information presented looks at 5 different domains combat veterans might experience problems within, including individual/medical, individual/psychological, dyadic, intergenerational, and society/culture. Assessment ideas and treatment considerations are described in detail within the domains, conveying to therapists the importance of the issue. Following the descriptions of problems combat veterans might face overseas and returning home is a case example. The presenting problems, theoretical framework, and treatment approach are thoroughly explained in order to see how the application of the Intersystem Approach can be used with combat veterans experiencing invisible and physical injuries.
