Veterans' perspectives on two transdiagnostic group workshops to improve military to civilian reintegration: A comparative thematic analysis.

Veterans deployed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn) face a multitude of challenges reintegrating into civilian life after military service. There is a need for evidence-based support programs to address the wide-reaching cognitive, psychological, and physical symptoms that can impede civilian reintegration. The present study incorporates quantitative and qualitative methods to assess veterans' experiences with two reintegration treatments (Short-Term Executive Plus-Home [SH] and Present Centered Group Therapy for Reintegration [PCGT-R]) within the context of a larger randomized clinical trial.
