Keith Armstrong, L.C.S.W., is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He directs the San Francisco Veterans Administration's (SFVA) Family Therapy Program, the social workers at the SFVA mental health service, the City College of San Francisco Veterans Outreach Program and is also a member of the SFVA's PTSD Clinical Team. After completing his Masters in Social Work at the University of California Berkeley in 1984, he soon was employed by the SFVA. In 1989 he was a founding member of the PTSD program at the SFVA. For the last 20 years Mr. Armstrong has directed the Couples and Family Program at the SFVA. In his role as director of Couples and Family Therapy he has taught and supervised hundreds of mental health trainees and staff. In 2011 he won the George Sarlo Teaching Award given to the top psychiatry instructor at UCSF, and in 2013 Mr. Armstrong won the national VA Social Worker of the year award. The authors wrote Courage After Fire to acknowledge the many challenges faced by Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans, and to support our troops and military families in their transition home. This self-help guide provides information on combat stress, war related grief, anger, and sleep problems, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), as well as the effects of PTSD on couples and children. In addition, we offer specific strategies and assistance for the post-war adjustment and combat stress treatment of Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans, Active Duty service members, National Guard, and Reservists.…
