| Abstract |
|---|
The external casualties of war have an obvious presence to the interested observer and encompass human, environmental and political dimensions. The internal casualties of war are less obvious and more intimately experienced.
Working with the human aftermath of military conflict has brought many questions to the fore in the professional and private life of clinical psychologist Tom Locke. He will share his perspectives on the nature of critical incident trauma, its treatment and prognosis and connect this to “civilian” trauma that no individual can avoid in a normal lifetime.
Short Bio,
Tom is a clinical psychologist who specialises in the treatment of defence force veterans and current serving members suffering and post traumatic stress disorder. He recently returned from a visit to Gallipoli as part of the Australian Government’s ANZAC Day commemorative service team and will privately visit again in 2015 to reflect on his military clients and compete in a 2 day surfboat race to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing.
PS* This seminar is free and open to the public & no RSVP required.
