Chris Frueh - Understanding Operator Syndrome and The Human Cost of War

Christopher Frueh, PhD., is a renowned clinical psychologist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Hawaii-Hilo. Chris brings over three decades of experience working intimately with military veterans and active-duty personnel. His pioneering research on "Operator Syndrome" is redefining our approach to the multifaceted health, psychological, and interpersonal challenges faced by those in military special operations.

Join us as Chris shares insights from his extensive career, including his work with prestigious organizations like the SEAL Future Foundation and Boulder Crest Foundation, his testimony before US Congress, and his role as a consultant for the Department of Defense and other key agencies. We explore the implications of his findings for the treatment and understanding of Operator Syndrome and discuss how his efforts are making a tangible difference in the lives of our most elite warriors.

Chris's expertise doesn't end with psychology. Under the pen name Christopher Bartley, he has authored nine historical crime novels that delve into themes of meaning, intimacy, and the American spirit during the tumultuous times of the Great Depression.
