Dr. Bob Marietta, Psychiatric Society of Virginia and APA member, wrote a book about military mental health called Reflections of a Military Psychiatrist.
Much has been written about military mental health, but nothing has done the issue justice. Accounts from those on the inside of the system are missing.
Reflections of a Military Psychiatrist is a deepdive into the world of military mental health. The book provides a rare, powerful account from the perspective of a career military psychiatrist who served across multiple branches, including the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Veterans Affairs.
