Abstract

The article is devoted exclusively to the current problem of the process of resocialization of military personnel, combatants. The article presents domestic approaches to the resocialization of military personnel, as well as analyzes foreign experience on a certain issue, summarizes the principles necessary to increase the effectiveness of various means of correcting emotional trauma.
The article reviews modern approaches to the correction of emotional trauma, such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR therapy. It has been analyzed that these methods are the most effective in reducing PTSD symptoms, because they simultaneously contribute to both the processing of traumatic experiences and the formation of self-regulation skills in military personnel, participants in combat operations. The combination of these protocols allows the therapist to individualize the approach, to apply techniques that will be more effective for a particular patient.
The author also supports the conclusions of other scientists regarding the need to combine individual and group therapy for the effective treatment of PTSD. Such methods of therapy create a powerful synergistic effect and cover two critical aspects of recovery from PTSD at once: in-depth processing of trauma in an individual format simultaneously with the possibility of social reintegration in a group.
The author notes the important role of social work as an integral element of the system of measures for the socio-psychological rehabilitation of military personnel. It is also noted that the quality of service provision correlates with the quality of this work by a social worker. The need to ensure proper state support for rehabilitation programs, as well as support for public initiatives to ensure the effectiveness of resocialization, is noted.
The main principles of implementing rehabilitation programs in the world are to ensure proper support not only for military personnel, but also for their family members, providing them with benefits and privileges, combining psychotherapy, medication, social support, innovative methods and practices, providing quality mental health services, maintaining a gender-sensitive approach to rehabilitation.
