Serving your country by joining the military is an honorable endeavor. Many positive opportunities are opened up to the individual; such as travel, education, training, and employment. A person can also enhance their personal characteristics of integrity, honor, dedication, perseverance, allegiance, and loyalty, to their country, their specific branch of service, their unit, and themselves. Unfortunately, many women and men leave the military with conflicting emotional and physical feelings about their “honorable endeavor,” as betrayal, disloyalty, pain, wounds, mistrust, and the list continues. The experiences, which these women and men have endured, are horrific, shocking, appalling, awful, repulsive and atrocious. Yet, most were not inflicted by some foreign enemy, but within the very ranks they served, by other military members; their brothers and/or sisters-in-arms.

This thorough analysis of sexual assault in the military examines the scope of this long-neglected issue using a lens informed by modern day attachment and trauma theories. Starting with an overview of sexual violence during wartime, it details the cultural and organizational aspects of military life--and entrenched ideas about war and masculinity--that compound military sexual trauma (MST) and reinforce barriers to treatment for women and men. The book's second half reviews empirically-supported interventions for MST survivors, recommending therapy that attends to somatic, implicit, relational based aspects of trauma processing rather than the conventional cognitive therapies currently funded in many military mental health programs. This powerful presentation, which includes sobering quotes from survivors, also raises serious questions about meeting veterans' needs, training for on- and off-base clinicians, and government funding. Included in the coverage: The history of sexual violence in war. Trauma and recovery in military culture. The neurobiology of trauma. A military rape sub-culture hypothesis about the hidden sexual assault epidemic. How military culture and military law affect the immediate aftermath of MST. Treating the trauma and not just the memory. Questions the "one size fits all" approach of many trauma therapies for MST. Top-down cognitive-based treatment for MST. Body-based bottom-up psychotherapy for MST. Understanding and Treating Military Sexual Trauma belongs in the libraries of private practice clinicians and government psychologists. It provides cutting edge knowledge to practitioners in training, such as graduate-level students studying psychology and social work. Its dual emphasis on military culture and women's lives will appeal to students in gender studies, sociology and program planning disciplines. .

Military Sexual Trauma: Current Knowledge and Future Directions showcases the work of several prominent military sexual trauma (MST) researchers, scholars, and clinicians from across the United States. A review of existing research and original empirical findings converge to indicate that MST contributes to a range of physical health problems, complex posttraumatic responses, and other mental health consequences above and beyond the effects of other types of traumatic experiences. This collection also presents evidence suggesting that MST is often difficult to identify both within the individual military member and within the military population as a whole. Recommendations are offered for addressing this problem. In addition to the research review and empirical findings, an evolutionary framework for understanding sexual assault of women in the military is presented. Taken together, this collection of works may inform MST intervention and prevention efforts. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of Trauma & Dissociation.

This authoritative update presents current findings on—and clinically and ethically sound responses to—the epidemic of sexual assault in the military. It examines in powerful detail how military culture enables a pervasive subculture of sexual violence, from consistently devaluing women to blaming victims and denying them justice. The author’s dual attachment/trauma theory lens attends to a wide range of outcomes such as unit members closing ranks against survivors and the continuing impact of assault trauma on veterans’ lives. And the book’s second half critiques standard forms of treating military sexual trauma in favor of individualized therapy addressing the physical, psychological, and neurological aspects of trauma and recovery. This important volume covers: · Theory and history of sexual violence as a weapon of war. · Legal and health considerations in the aftermath of military sexual assault. · Critical distinctions between military and civilian legal response to sexual assault. · Variations in symptomology among survivors. · Specific barriers to services for male and LGBT survivors. · New and emerging treatment options for military sexual trauma/PTSD. This Second Edition of Understanding and Treating Military Sexual Trauma follows its predecessor as an essential reference on its subject for mental health clinicians treating sexual trauma in the military as well as trauma researchers, sociologists, women’s health practitioners, and university students whose focus is women’s studies, public policy, public health, social work, psychology, sociology, or political science.

This paper reviews data on the prevalence of sexual assault among servicemembers, predictors of disclosure, efforts to improve disclosure, victim needs and DoD efforts to provide necessary resources in the immediate aftermath of a sexual assault. The authors compared civilian and DoD guidelines for care and found them to be generally consistent. However, little is known about the fidelity with which DoD recommendations are implemented.

A brief overview of Military Sexual Trauma ... "about 1 in 4 women and 1 in 100 men respond "yes," that they experienced MST, when screened by their VA provider. Although rates of MST are higher among women, because there are so many more men than women in the military, there are actually significant numbers of women and men seen in VA who have experienced MST" (va.gov, 2015). Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is a term used by the VA to refer to any sexual assault or sexual harassment, which includes any sexual activity where someone is involved against their will, while the person was on active duty in the US military. This book briefly covers the history of the term and unique circumstances which sets it apart from other traumas, even other sexual traumas; at the same time affirming a finite definition. A substantial misunderstanding is that MST is a mental diagnosis. Military Sexual Trauma is an experience, not a diagnosis, you cannot "have MST," just as you cannot "have a sexual assault;" they can only be experienced. -My most frightful nightmares are not about being shot at, they are not about being in danger of an enemy ambush, they are not about an enemy trying to kill me; all over again. No, they are about the familial betrayal that one of my own, another soldier who was supposed to have my back, decided to sexually assault me. Of all the injuries I incurred in the military, the ones that cut the deepest, that have left the largest scars, have caused the most emotional and physical pain, that continually revisit me, on any day at any time, all still without my consent, is the betrayal.

Reporting of incidents of sexual assault in the military has increased dramatically over the past ten years, with 6131 reported in 2014, up from 1700 incidents reported in 2004. Data on veterans shows about 1 in 4 women and 1 in 100 men report that they had experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MST). Existing research indicates that MST has been associated with increased screening rates of depression and alcohol abuse, in addition to significantly increased odds of meeting criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition, MST has been associated with reporting increased number of current physical symptoms, impaired health status, and more chronic health problems in veterans. MST is an unrecognized epidemic, not talked about, yet having an impact on the health of our veterans today. It took me 37,287 words to describe the impact of sexual trauma in the military has had on my life. It has taken me over 30 years to come to terms with my experience where I can now write about it and speak about it. I want to educate people about rape in the military. Perhaps I will be able to help others by sharing my experience. To keep silent just perpetuates the violence and reinforces the culture of rape that has been accepted in the military. As a young girl in my twenties I entered the United States Air Force in 1987 for their post nursing school internship program to develop my nursing skills. Despite the horrific trauma, I went through I survived and graduated the nursing internship program, but the cost would be tremendous. The experience of being gang raped changed me in ways I couldn't articulate until recently. I grew up in Indiana and went to nursing school at Purdue University. My brother Darwin and I called it "Undue Perversity!" I went into the Air Force directly after nursing school. Since my military days, I have worked as a Psychiatric Nurse. I have experienced both sides of being on a psychiatric unit. I have been a patient suffering from PTSD after MST and I have taken care of psychiatric patients. I was working at the Veteran's Administration with patients, some of whom have had MST. My insight and perspective in this book will be helpful to both practitioners helping veterans and to other veterans suffering from sexual trauma as well.
