She is the co-author/co-editor of two landmark books with Dr. Raymond Scurfield: Healing War Trauma –A Handbook of Creative Approaches, and War Trauma and Its Wake: Expanding the Circle of Healing.
She has also written more than 25 scholarly articles that have been published in professional and lay journals, and is regularly cited as an expert on issues of military mental health in the wartime theaters of both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Dr. Platoni currently runs a thriving private practice as a clinical psychologist in Centerville, Ohio, and travels nationally as a sought-after author, lecturer, and therapist. Her expertise as a clinician includes a wide spectrum of cognitive behavioral therapies and hypnotherapy.
