It is estimated that more than 6% of the U.S. population will experience
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Center for
PTSD, 2010). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s

depression frequently lead to substance abuse issues and even physical
ailments. For this Discussion, as you examine the Thompson Family Case Study in
