I hear EMDR treatments are extremely helpful for PTSD, as well. Never tried it myself.

How about a dog? Sounds silly but seriously. You'd be amazed how therapeutic an animal is to those with PTSD. ( I have PTSD .. Not from war , but from childhood traumas It is a BITCH ).

Yeah I forgot to add that as well - both my husband and I could not have dealt with our PTSD without our beloved dogs (all of them, both old and "new" in our lives)
There are many VA and military related programs (in fact I can think of one that deals specifically with USMC vets and at least 3 that deal with the US Army) that would help find and train a dog for your father.
Their therapy is amazing.

I know I'm a little late, but - amethyst is also known to help with sleeplessness, especially sleeplessness caused by overactive dreams. I have a friend who was almost completely unable to sleep because of her dreams (though for a very different reason) and the amethyst pendant I made has helped her immensely. Wearing the amethyst at night may help, but I have no experience with PTSD, so I really can't say.

Amethyst is very good actually. I have a large geode type piece of amethyst on my nightstand. And I have rings I wear when I'm feeling slightly " elevated".
