Hello, I need assistance with the following question based on my case scenario. Scenario Case ScenarioChris, a 40-year-old African American Veteran, proudly served and retired from the Army. Throughout his service, he was deployed to Afghanistan on two separate occasions. Chris is married to Sophie, who is of Asian descent and is also 40 years old. Chris and Sophie have been together since they met in high school. Chris and Sophie have been married for 20 years, just as Chris began his military career. Due to infertility, Chris and Sophie's attempts to become parents were unsuccessful, and now their family consists solely of the two of them.During Chris's time in the Army, he faced numerous challenging situations that profoundly impacted him. As a result, when he returned, he underwent significant changes. Chris was once a joyful, driven, and affectionate husband before his deployments.
Chris, unfortunately, did not seek mental health care during his 20 years of military service, despite the importance of therapy and his reasons. Since Chris retired, things have turned for the worse in his marriage. He seems to lack the drive to find employment and prefers to stay at home most of the time. He hesitates to venture outside his home due to his discomfort in crowded environments and loud sounds. Chris experiences frequent nightmares, causing the couple to sleep in separate rooms. Whenever Sophie attempts to address any issues, Chris consistently shuts down and refuses to communicate. Chris and Sophie have both been emotionally distant from each other.Sophie gave Chris a deadline, stating that their marriage must be saved.
Chris feels more secure and comfortable when he engages in therapy alongside his wife rather than going through the process alone. The VA is now assisting them after months of Sophie attempting to go to therapy together. Question Ask: Preapare an answerable question relating to the presenting problem of the case scenario in a who, what, where, when, or why format. Then you will explain the process used to formulate your question. Use references from Week 4 to support and give credit to the process. My question I came up with is: What therapeutic treatment provides the highest effectiveness for veterans experiencing PTSD and desiring to involve their spouse in therapy? or How effective is cognitive behavioral conjoint therapy for veterans and their families experiencing PTSD?
