Abstract:
In the 15 years since the end of the Cold War, the extended task spectrum of the Bundeswehr has included missions abroad. These entail special psychological stress for soldiers. Some develop unspecific stress symptoms, while others develop post-traumatic stress disorders as a result of their exposure to stress. The Bundeswehr has created a medical and psychological stress concept to organize the prevention of stress and trauma. In its military hospitals (particularly in Hamburg), the Bundeswehr has established special facilities for trauma therapy, which will be presented and described in the following article.
