Military Spouses

This study explored the relationship between spousal commitment, spousal emotions about reenlistment, Service members' reenlistment, and Service members' attitudes towards military service.

We studied 13 U.S. male military veterans and their female partners who consented to participate in an uncontrolled trial of couple treatment for alcohol use disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (CTAP).

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and heavy alcohol use can be common among military Veterans.

The impact on relationships and adjustment to life after warzone deployments is a major concern, especially when the Veteran also struggles with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Differences between Veterans in treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who are violent and those who are non-violent towards their partners were examined.

This study explores the concept of the coping paradox within the context of military families and wartime deployment. A coping paradox occurs when the sending or receiving of a message meant to cope with stress leads to outcomes that are contrary to expectations.

This study explored the stressors, coping behaviors, and spousal communication patterns of 40 Army wives whose husbands had recently deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. The Retrospective Interview Technique was used to collect data.

The more than decade long tempo of war has taken a considerable toll on military families, with the rates of mental health concerns in non-deployed spouses on the rise. To date, few evidence-based programs exist to meet the unique needs of military spouses.

In this study, military spouses participated in the HomeFront Strong program, an eight week group-based resiliency intervention. The study's purpose was to assess participants' perceptions of deployment and depressive symptoms after participation in HomeFront Strong.

Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of the Strength at Home Men’s Program (SAH-M), a trauma-informed group intervention based on a social information processing model to end intimate partner violence (IPV) use in a sample of veterans/service members and their partners.
