I will go back to what I said earlier.
With regard to transgenerational transmission, we noted that the children and grandchildren of concentration camp victims also showed symptoms of distress. The second or third generation also show signs of post-traumatic stress. PTSD symptoms can contaminate not only the family but also the children and grandchildren. We have learned this from our observations in the only longitudinal study we have, meaning concentration camps.
I completely agree with you, we must watch for symptoms in the family, in order to provide it with support. We know that this helps military personnel to return to active duty. We also know that, if the spouse is involved, if she is doing well and receiving support, this will greatly assist the serviceman in sticking with his therapy.
