In the early 1970s, the U.S. Army underwent significant transformations. The Vietnam War had concluded, nearly 600 American POWs were released by North Vietnam, the draft was abolished, and the Army itself was in disrepair. A decorated former infantryman turned behavioral scientist, Bob Worthington resumed active duty as a clinician and served as a senior psychology consultant, aiding the Army in maintaining its effectiveness as a fighting force. His insightful memoir chronicles his pioneering research in PTSD, the management of a clinical service and mental health center, his work primarily focused on pilots and aviators, and a stint as a sports psychologist for the U.S. Olympics.
