Ed Tick speaks on online video


More on Ed Tick.


Watch the entire video interview with author and psychologist Ed Tick as he discusses his latest book -- "War and the Soul" on Capital News Channel 9 in Albany, N.Y. Here it is: Lending a Hand

Dr. Tick discounts most medications and talk therapy for the disorder. Instead, he prefers reconciliation with the past. He's taken Vietnam war vets back to Vietnam and has helped them get involved with various philanthropies to help needy families in the war-torn area. In many cases, the vet is able to release guilt and not only make amends with their war experiences but also make friends with their former enemies.

Tick has more than 25 years experience as a clinical psychotherapist but considers himself first and foremost a transformational healer. He is also a mythologist, psychotherapist, poet, writer, educator and ordained interfaith minister.
