an interview
American veterans of the war in Iraq, plagued by haunting and traumatic moments of combat, have hope to "erase" those memories with the experimental drug, propranolol. A University of Minnesota expert who can comment on the drug is:
Jonathan Gewirtz, professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota
Gewirtz can discuss how propranolol can help returning soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, how the drug works in combination with therapy and the ethical concerns with such types of treatment on the human psyche.
Media Note: Professor Gewirtz is only available via phone Monday through Wednesday.
