Abstract
There are many factors which cause soldier's crisis during the military duty: problems in adjustment to military environment or some problems in relationship with his parents or a girlfriend. If those problems are enormous, soldier has to inerrupt military duty in that moment for a period. But problems can be continued and existed furthermore.
Aim of our study was to show the application of short term psychotherapy for the soldier in crisis following estimation for military duty who couldn't overcome his problems during the military duty that preserve him to adapt to civilian environment successfully.
In three phases of short term psychotherapy: initial, when the therapist makes the diagnosis of the disorder and also the interpersonal problematic is pointed out; intermediary when the focus is treated, and the final phase when the therapist encourages the patient to recognize and consolidate gains and prepare the patient to use it in the future, the therapist aims to enable patient to identify, understand and give a meaning to his conflicts; still aiming to correct the distortions in the perceptions that patient has about himself and his environment, as well to improve his interpersonal relationships.
The final result of short term psychotherapy for the soldier in crisis following estimation for military duty is decreasing patient's anxiety and depression and increasing his self-confidence. All of that provides him to come back to the level of functioning that existed before the beginning of the crisis and to continue his life successfully.
