Abstract
Although U.S. military involvement in Vietnam ended nearly a decade ago, the war is not over for many of its veterans. Residual effects of battles fought in Southeast Asia have come home with these veterans and strongly affect—and sometimes disrupt—their lives and those of their families. This article addresses the delayed reactions to the stress of war (posttraumatic stress disorders) of many ex-soldiers, and the problems their families face as a consequence. It also presents a number of considerations for social work intervention.
