Command and Trauma: In what ways does 'leadership/command' influence the mental health of those exposed to trauma during military operations?
PGR Supervisors: Professor Caroline Kennedy-Pipe and Dr Tom Waldman
This current study will explore in what ways ‘command’ influences the mental health of military personnel exposed to trauma on operational deployments. The main source of data will be formed from interviews with UK Armed Forces Veterans (UKAFV) who have served in recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan (timelines outlined later). The second source of data will be formed from interviews with therapists who have treated veterans who have developed mental health problems in service. Both sets of data will be analyzed and triangulated.
