Veteran Evolution Therapy

Abstract

Veterans are an independent culture, and the lack of contextual and culturally normed therapeutic modalities and interventions may explain the disparities in mental health treatment for Veterans and the staggering suicide rate (Cameron, 2023a). Mental health providers are ethically responsible for not implementing clinical interventions without cultural adaption or norming (Perera et al., 2020). Cultural competence impacts the development of therapeutic rapport and treatment outcomes. Utilizing a true experimental design, this research examines Veteran Evolution Therapy as it quickly develops as an evidence-based, culturally informed treatment intervention for Veterans and Military Service Members. Veteran Evolution Therapy is a revolutionary and culturally informed treatment with promising implications that outperform traditional Veterans Administration CBT programs by addressing primary presenting problems nearly 80% faster in some clinical applications.
