Abstract	:	This purpose of this thesis is to determine if there is any evidence of stigmatization among veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder within medical discourse. Articles for this qualitative analysis were selected between the years 1990 and 2006. These years were chosen to reflect the months just before the Gulf War to the two current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The articles were interpreted from a critical discourse perspective, based on the theories of social framing, emotional deviance, claims-making, and stigma. Four social framing models are discussed: agency, structural, intervention/treatment, and frame extension. Findings indicate that stigmatization is present most noticeably in the agency model and the frame extension model.
