 rand Valley State University\n\nThis presentation will focus on the histor
 y of psychological trauma ('shell shock') in the First World War and its l

 tment and recovery issues for veterans of Iraq/Afghanistan\, and challenge
 s facing returning veterans (including stigmatization\, long-term care) an
 d the image of psychologically disabled men and women in contemporary Amer
