Join the RSC Scholars’ Exchange Lunch and Learn as Remington Harris presents “What Barriers Prevent Post-9/11 Active-Duty Army Combat Veterans from Completing Individual Talk Therapy? A Qualitative Study.”
This qualitative study is designed to garner a better understanding of why some post-9/11 United States Army combat veterans prematurely terminated their talk therapy sessions and viewed their therapeutic experience in a negative manner. The objective is to identify intrapersonal, interpersonal, cultural, structural, or other types of barriers that prevented their completion of treatment. The study’s intent is also to identify clinical dynamics that contributed to their subjective experiences that were characterized as negative overall.
