Serving Military Families introduces readers to the unique culture
of military families, their resilience, and the challenges of
military life. It reviews the latest research, theories, policies,
and programs to prepare readers for understanding and working with
military families. It also offers practical knowledge about the
challenges that come with military family life and the federal
policies, laws, programs, and policies that support military and
veteran families. Boasting a new full-color design and rich with
pedagogy, the text also includes several boxed elements in each
chapter: "Spotlight on Research" highlights researchers who study
military and veteran families with the goal of informing and
enriching the work of family support professionals. "Voices from
the Frontline" presents the real-life stories of support program
leaders, practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and most
importantly service members and veterans and their families. "Tips
from the Frontline" offers concrete, hands-on suggestions based on
the experiences and wisdom of the people featured in the text and
the broader research and practice communities. Third Edition
Features: Streamlined focus on theories and the addition of the
contextual model of family stress and life course theory, including
an interview with Glen Elder in which he shares his perspective on
the theory’s development and how it can be applied to understand
development across individuals and cohorts. Personal accounts of 70
program leaders, practitioners, researchers, policy makers and,
significantly, service members, veterans, and family members who
offer insight into their personal experiences, successes, and
challenges associated with military life. 20 new interviews with
service members, veterans, family members, researchers, and
clinicians that bring important topics to life. Updated
demographics and descriptions of service members, veterans, and
their families. Expanded descriptions of mental health treatment
approaches with an emphasis on including family members. Updated
exercises focused on providing services to military and veteran
families. New online resources designed to further enrich discourse
and discussion. Serving Military Families is designed as a core
text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on military
families or as a supplement for related courses taught in family
science, human development, family life education, social work, and
clinical or counseling psychology programs. Providing a foundation
for working with increased sensitivity, knowledge, and respect, the
text can also be a useful resource to helping professionals who
work with military and veteran families.
