This text introduces readers to the unique culture of military
families, their resilience, and the challenges of military life.
Personal stories from nearly 70 active duty, reservists, veterans,
and their families from all branches and ranks of the military
bring their experiences to life. A review of the latest research,
theories, policies, and programs better prepares readers for
understanding and working with military families. Objectives, key
terms, tables, figures, summaries, and exercises, including web
based exercises, serve as a chapter review. The book concludes with
a glossary. Readers learn about diverse careers within which they
can make important differences for families. Engaging vignettes are
featured throughout: Voices from the Frontline offer personal
accounts of issues faced by actual program leaders, practitioners,
researchers, policy makers, service members, veterans, and their
families. Spotlight on Research highlights the latest studies on
dealing with combat related issues. Best Practices review the
optimal strategies used in the field. Tips from the Frontline offer
suggestions from experienced personnel.Updated throughout including
the latest demographic data, the new edition also features: -New
chapter (9) on women service members that addresses the
accomplishments and challenges faced by this population including
sexual bias and assault, and combat-related psychological
disorders. - New chapter (10) on veterans and families looks at
veterans by era (e.g.WW2), each era's signature issues and how
those impact programs and policies, and challenges veterans may
face such as employment, education, and mental and physical health
issues. -Two new more comprehensive and cohesive chapters (11 &
12) review military and civilian programs, policies, and
organizations that support military and veteran families.
-Additional information on TBI and PTSD, the deployment cycle,
stress and resilience, the possible negative effects of military
life on families, same-sex couples and their children, and the
recent increase in suicides in the military. -More applied cases
and exercises that focus on providing services to military
families. Intended as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate
courses on military families or as a supplement for courses on the
family, marriage and family, stress and coping, or family systems
taught in family science, human development, clinical or counseling
psychology, sociology, social work, and nursing, this book also
appeals to helping professionals who work with military and veteran
families.
