There's a good reason many societies created meaningful rituals for dealing with fighters' return from war. These rituals were often designed to rid the veteran of any bad juju attending coming into contact with enemies and the resulting mayhem and death. It's not necessarily described as "therapy" or something involving "psychology" in Indian Country, but it's there and still called upon. As to whether or not it works, that seems largely dependent on whether the returning warrior believes.
