POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
AND ADJUSTMENT DISORDER
Inevitable Problems When Leaving the Armed Forces?
Henry Bosanquet, Consultant Psychiatrist
Duchess of Kent Barracks, Catterick
Tuesday 21 April 2009
6.00pm Registration and Buffet; 6.30pm Presentation; 8.00pm Close
The Village Hotel, Otley Road, Leeds
For many mental health professionals there seem to be inevitable mental health challenges when people
leave the armed services for a civilian life. Problems are often complex and at times we can feel
insufficiently skilled to manage them.
Any simple explanation for psychiatric problems in terms of military trauma on a significant scale has
little basis in the evidence. This seminar will describe the overall picture as one of relatively severe
adjustment and temperament problems before joining up, often mitigated by army life, then aggravated
by conflicts between the demands of military and civilian life.
The evening shall include a review of the cases of the 4,000 soldiers seen in the military Community
Mental Health Team, Duchess of Kent Barracks, Catterick between 2002 and 2008. It is the first such
project since 1916.
About Our Speaker: Henry Bosanquet joined the
Army in 1982, he has been a consultant psychiatrist
within the armed force since 1989. In 2010 Henry plans
to leave the Army aged 60.
After you have attended this seminar you will be
able to:
 Be very discerning about the diagnosis of PTSD
especially in former soldiers
 Be aware of the “medicalisation” issue in a field of
importance to national policy (pensions)
Who Should Attend? This course is suitable for any
practitioner whose work will at times involve people
previously in the armed forces.
Study Methods: Lecture and discussion.
Course Fees: £50 (£35 per seminar if a full series of
ten is pre-booked in advance), or a reduced rate of £25
for SpRs, SHOs and Leeds Partnerships NHS
Foundation Trust non-medical staff only. All learning
materials, buffet and refreshments are included.
This seminar may be sponsored although delegates are

content of the course.
