Veterans’ perceptions of counseling for posttraumatic stress disorder: A focus on Black men

Abstract The purpose of this conceptual article is to explore the perceptions of Black male veterans regarding counseling for posttraumatic stress disorder. This will build upon previous research about this population by referencing the invisibility syndrome theory. A case illustration will integrate the theory with a composite of Black veterans who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder. Implications and limitations for working with veteran Black men will be proposed.
