In the article Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Secondary Traumatization in Military Families by Alexandria Robinson, it is evident that PTSD affects, not only the individual experiencing PTSD, but also their family members. This is made apparent by the negative behaviours that occur as a result of children viewing their parents’ episodes. However, Robinson deduces that a healthy home environment can alleviate symptoms and when treated properly can be cured. She concludes that by being informed and knowledgeable about PTSD can help those who are suffering, as well as their families.
