Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an insidious mental disorder that brings about chaos and affects multiple life domains. Recreational therapy has provided interventions for PTSD and other disorders affecting veterans of the United States military throughout the decades. Recreational therapists search out effective interventions for veterans who will be in congruence with the military culture and allow for greatest impact on the related disorders. Mandala and free-form drawing are expressive interventions that fit within the military culture and have potential to bring about functional change for veterans living with PTSD. The findings of a recent study with veterans living with PTSD provides support for the inclusion and further exploration of both types of expressive interventions for veterans living with PTSD.
