Welcome to this week’s edition of CDP News! We like to use this space to review recent happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, while also looking ahead to upcoming events. Next week is Thanksgiving, which kicks off the holiday season and will slow our face-to-face training down some, but we've still got plenty to talk about.
The CDP's weekly research update contains the latest news, journal articles and useful links from around the web. Some of this week's topics include:
● Anatomical and functional connectivity in the default mode network of post-traumatic stress disorder patients after civilian and military-related trauma.
● Military Culture and the Transition to Civilian Life: Suicide Risk and Other Considerations.
