Résumé

Dans cet article, les auteurs abordent trois des perspectives les plus fréquemment utilisées pour conceptualiser le traumatisme psychologique lié au service militaire dans le contexte canadien, soit le point de vue de l’institution militaire, celui des membres des forces armées, et celui des psychologues en counseling. En examinant de plus près ces points de vue, on constate des points de discorde en ce qui concerne les origines, la terminologie, et la pertinence culturelle des conceptualisations du traumatisme lié au service, par exemple lorsqu’il est question des troubles de stress post-traumatique. En s’inspirant de la documentation théorique, empirique, critique, et anecdotique, le présent article souligne qu’il faut que les psychologues en counseling fassent évoluer constamment leur compréhension des contextes plus larges dans lesquels survient le traumatisme lié au service et qu’ils reconnaissent que ce sont les militaires qui savent quelles sont les multiples sources de souffrance traumatique.
