This unique resource provides findings and insights regarding the multiple impacts of military duty on service members and veterans, specifically from a family standpoint. Broad areas of coverage include marital and family relationships, parenting issues, family effects of war injuries, and family concerns of single service members. The book's diverse contents highlight understudied populations and topics gaining wider interest while examining the immediate and long-term impact of service on family functioning. In addition to raising awareness of issues, chapters point to potential solutions including science-based pre- and post-deployment programs, more responsive training for practitioners, and more focused research and policy directions. Among the topics covered: - Deployment and divorce: an in-depth analysis by relevant demographic and military characteristics. - Military couples and posttraumatic stress: interpersonally based behaviors and cognitions as mechanisms of individual and couple distress. - Warfare and parent care: armed conflict and the social logic of child and national protection. - Understanding the experiences of women and LGBT veterans in Department of Veterans Affairs care. - Risk and resilience factors in combat military health care providers. - Tangible, instrumental, and emotional support among homeless veterans. War and Family Life offers up-to-date understanding for mental health professionals who serve military families, both in the U.S. and abroad.
