This brief report describes the utilization of a "welcome home" ceremony in the treatment of Vietnam War and other war veterans suffering fiom posttraumatic stress disorder. Designed primarib to aa2ire.s.s the issues of sanctuary trauma and social isolation and alienation, the ceremony drew upon knowledge gained fiom the study of Native American ritual.

The significance of a woman leading the ceremony and veteran reactions are discussed.
