The Front Porch will be preempted this evening for a special NHPR Veterans’ Day program from The Living Well Show.
The impact of war is usually measured by the number of deaths, the number of casualties, and the financial costs involved. But war creates many invisible wounds that are harder to quantify – and harder to deal with. Edward Tick, author of War and the Soul, found that traditional psychotherapy wasn’t adequate treatment for the emotional and psychological damages inflicted on the battlefield, so he studied the traditions of Native Americans, Greeks and other cultures. Host Shamaan C. C. Eagle talks with Dr. Tick about his studies.

You can listen to this program (and write a review of it) at the Public Radio Exchange.
