Summary
A greater understanding of the effects of war deployment on military couple functioning was explored. The Couple Adaptation to Traumatic Stress (CATS) theoretical model was utilized as a frame to analyze couple interviews. Five primary themes were identified in the results: communication, conflict management, roles, support or nurturance, and posttraumatic growth.
