THE PECULIARITIES OF THERAPY FOR POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER OF VETERANS OF ANTI-TERRORIST OPERATION IN UKRAINE
Journal Title: Праці Наукового товариства ім. Шевченка - Year 2017, Vol 49, Issue
Abstract
Veterans can resocialize, provided the model of their peaceful future has been formed. It turned out that all the parts of this model malfunctioned for the veterans of anti-terrorist operation: social time rejection, lost time perspective and psychophysiological time malfunctions. It is know that the time perspective is closely linked to a self-image and belongs to the cognitive component of personal time. It was found that veterans tend to use language without sense of time and their personal biography was divided into two parts: “before the war” and “after the war”. Veterans stay in the “after the war” time interval, its structure they describe as slowly and linearly fl owing boundless and shapeless space with no future. It is diffi cult to say whether the veterans overestimate or underestimate the time retrospective of the war since they consciously try to forget the very war period. Lack of understanding their problems by other people, who have not been on the front line, make the veterans withdraw into themselves. They can fi nd comfort in communication with animals and in different deviant activities. The other characteristic features of veterans are: depressive mood, suicidal behavior, fundamental attribution error and belief that it is impossible to regain the lost feeling of happiness and the structure of self-image they used to have before the war.
