Abstract
Psychological recovery from combat trauma may depend on discovering a personal meaning in the traumatic experience. Veterans traumatized in combat struggle with finding meaning in the war and in civilian life. Spiritual concepts and experiences can generally help in the discovery of meaning. However, the term spirituality is traditionally reserved for the experience of prayer and worship. This article presents a rationale for the integration of the spirituality of combat and civilian life into the clinical treatment of traumatic sequelae via a mystical perspective. The spiritual may be viewed as either immanent or transcendent. These perspectives are integrated into an individual treatment program for the reduction of serious psychological difficulties stemming from combat trauma.
