Capt.Liebenguth is a former officer in charge of the combat stress control behavioral health clinic for an entire forward operating base during a 12-month deployment to Iraq. Liebenguth is now a clinical psychologist consultant at Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE).
Liebenguth, who completed her postdoctoral training at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, was attached to the 85th combat stress control medical detachment from Fort Hood, Texas. While deployed, she incorporated group classes as an effective tactic in maintaining resilience.
“Most of the service member training I did in theater included classes on anger and stress management, sleep hygiene, coping skills and relationship sessions, interpersonal difficulties and problem resolution among peers,” she said. “The most frequent psychological health concerns while deployed revolved around home-front issues and duty-related stressors.”
