25 'rehabilitation' songs – 20
25 'rehabilitation' songs – 20
thursday, 5 june, '03
cjcs general hugh shelton has commented to me, accurately I believe, that all service songs are 'motivational, and thus can be useful in the rehabilitation of soldiers with ptsd, shell shock, battle fatigue.
 songs i've included in this coding are specifically used to create awareness, or to assist recovery of service personnel to deal with specific problems encountered by those who serve, and have served: poverty, impotence;
 loss of limbs, suicidal tendencies, self medication (not adequately dealt with).
 a severe problem that is and has been chronic is domestic violence in service families due to diametrically opposed value systems in military and civil society.
 this coding also includes 'cautionary tales',
in song or verse.
 I think it likely that all humourous songs would also be included in this category when used in conjunction with these songs.
 again, this is only a preliminary and quick assessment of songs in this coding;
 there are undoubtedly many more in my collection alone;
 I am using an archive of over a thousand songs, and to establish these codings does not at this stage permit close scrutiny of the entire archive.
