“…The authors showed that most evacuations were for adjustment disorders (37%), mood disorders (22%), personality disorders (16%) and anxiety disorders (includes PTSD, 15%) [11]. A U.K. study found just over half of evacuations were for adjustment disorders [23]. Our study found that homicidal/suicidal ideation (not a discrete category in the previous studies), mood disorders, PTSD and psychosis had the highest rates of MEDEVAC.…”

“…More recent research based on military personnel deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan has produced mixed results. Although the majority of these studies have revealed few differences in health status following deployment (Hoge, Aucherlonie, & Milliken, 2006;Kang & Hyams, 2005;Seal et al, 2007), studies of U.K. veterans have generally demonstrated poorer health outcomes for reservists relative to "regular" military personnel (Hotopf et al, 2006;McAllister, Blair, & Philpott, 2004;Turner, Kiernan, McKechanie, Finch, McManus, & Neal, 2005). What these studies have in common is that they do not address differences in reports of deployment stressors or differential associations with health outcomes, as was done in the present study.…”

The increased use of National Guard and Reserve (NG/R) military personnel in current conflicts raises the question of whether deployment experiences and their associations with posttraumatic stress symptomatology differ for active duty and NG/R military personnel. To date, very few studies are available on this topic. Moreover, it is unclear whether the impact of military status differs for women and men. We addressed these research issues in a sample of 311 female and male Gulf War I veterans. Several differences were observed in deployment stressor exposures and results based on differential associations generally suggested more negative impacts of deployment experiences for active duty women and NG/R men. The potential role of unit cohesion in explaining these findings is discussed.

“…Many studies have been carried out into the psychological effects of war on military personnel (e.g., Hacker Hughes et al, 2005;Hoge et al, 2004;Ikin et al, 2004;Turner et al, 2005). The existing literature suggests that mental health problems have been identified in veterans of recent conflicts.…”

Clinical psychology has had a long and distinguished association with the practice of mental health care in the military. Although clinical psychologists are trained both to adopt and implement ethical values and principles, the military environment holds many contextual and tangible differences from other clinical settings. This literature review investigates the ethical considerations arising from the practice of clinical psychology within the military. Several ethical issues were identified and confidentiality and boundary violations emerged as the two main areas of ethical concern. The findings may have implications for the overall practice of mental health care in the military, the contributions that clinical psychologists make to such services, the role of clinical psychology in times of international conflict, the training of clinical psy-

Abstract: These findings have implications especially for screening for suitability for deployment, and for understanding any longer-term mental health problems arising in veterans from Iraq.
