Abstract
AbstractThe study of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among Vietnam veterans has long been a topic of research interest. A recent trend has been to study this disorder among selected subgroups of veterans such as Blacks, Hispanics, and females. Another group which has not been studied includes the thousands of Canadians who fought in Vietnam as part of the U.S. military. Research on these Canadian Vietnam veterans has now been conducted to determine how they have fared since the war compared to U.S. Vietnam veterans. Data on PTSD prevalence rates, differences in societal reactions, and the effects of isolation, rejection, and hostility on subsequent readjustment are presented for a sample of 164 Canadian Vietnam veterans. Survey data are discussed in terms of implications for intervention to reduce the high rates of PTSD noted for these veterans.
