HOMEPAGE Note: Be patient please. We are using this web site to help in the transition between leaving Florida State University and joining Tulane University, particularly the many web pages that need to be moved or rebuilt. Gradually, there will be links to the new pages at Tulane. I can be reached at Figley@Tulane.edu Here are my primary links for web pages still at FSU:

Dear Visitor,
I have tried to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible. Please contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of assistance. Above are links to my publications, credentials, descriptions of my programs of research, my doctoral students, and humanitarian efforts -- including Hurricane Katrina, my family, and more. Among my passions, beyond my family and students is attending to the enormous needs of our current generation of military troops, veterans, and their families. No matter your opinions about war, you might be interested in helping FSU collegiate veterans or veteran organizations at other colleges or universities. You might be interested in veterans health care, know a little bit about the history of helping vets, or studying the immediate and long-term effects of war service for the warfighters or their families, let me know. A recent report on the terrible conditions of these troops are captured in an Army Mental Health (MHAT4) report. There is an excellent book written by US soldier who survived a tour in Iraq . For the families of those deployed, Sesame Street has partnered with Walmart to offer a free Sesame Street DVD and kit. For ordering information: http://www.sesameworkshop.org/wpad/. I have been a member of the academy since 1971. I enjoy academic life, particularly working with Ph.D. students on their dissertations and other projects. I learn from them as much as they learn from me. But my other passions involve understanding and helping others help the traumatized and themselves. I do this through my publications, the journal and the Book Series I edit, and my off-hours training and lecturing throughout the world. The 3rd Annual Conference on Combat Stress Injuries was held May 13th and was very successful. Next year it will be held at Tulane University in New Orleans. The focus will be on the latest report of the Army's survey of combatants in the current wars in order to better prepare for their care once they return. The 2006 survey was the focus of the Traumatology Special Issues on the: Deployment Effects on Troops and their Families. Most of my energies, however, are devoted my family, my courses, students, and research here, for now, at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida (USA) . Kathy and I will miss Tallahassee communities when we move in a month and a half. I hope that my web site links are useful to you and would like to know what you think. FSU will permit us to use their site until there is a comparable site set up at Tulane later this year. Sincerely,
Charles
