Edward Tick

Edward Tick (born April 24, 1951) is an American psychotherapist, author, poet and international pilgrimage guide. He is best known for his work on treating war mental health trauma and post traumatic stress disorder. Tick has been treating Vietnam war veterans since 1979 before the term PTSD came into use. Tick introduced the identity model approach to PTSD seeing it as a "soul wound", similar to moral injury, rather than primarily a medical or psychological condition. In 2012 Tick presented training on PTSD for 2,000 members of the United States Army Chaplain Corps. Tick was featured in "Forgiveness and Healing" episode of Link TV Global Spirit series.
