  Perryman provides a depth-psychological inquiry based thesis on PTSD through examination of C.G. Jung's written works. Perryman's thesis covers the history and overview of PTSD, identity, language, and memory. I found a couple of not-so-obvious connections to my topic, which might become value to me down the road. Within Perryman's "Identity" section, he talks about pre and post deployment screening and psychological types. Within his online survey over 80 percent of veteran respondents stated to be introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judgement (INTJ) oriented. Perryman questions whether individuals held the same identity prior to their military service. This is the major point, prior to entering the military everyone takes a standardized exam, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This test was developed in the 1970s to measure intellectual capacity and aptitude. Currently, this test is not given to those exiting the military. This type of pre and post testing would provide great baseline data, show any signs of changed intellectual capacity and aptitude. The use of technology, a database containing ASVAB pre and post score comparisons would be very valuable in the development of: awarding college credit for military experience, potential early indications of brain injuries, as well as more targeted support for TAP counselors.
