Open communication postdeployment has been encouraged for military couples (Allen, Rhoades, Stanley, & Markman, 2011), as trauma symptoms have been found to influence military couples’ marital satisfaction and relationship functioning.
After returning from deployment, Soldiers differ in how much of their combat experiences they share with loved ones. In this study, the relationship between Soldiers' trauma disclosure and perceived relationship quality was analyzed in military couples.
The prominence and incidence of intimate partner violence (IPV) with male military veterans vary, but generally there is consensus that screening and intervention does help reduce IPV. Intervention is generally provided in the community via Batterer Intervention Programs.
An examination of a psycho-educationally based treatment approach for male Veteran intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders was conducted. Pre and post-test domestic violence and abuse screen behavioral outcomes as well as program failure, and recidivism were analyzed.
The current study has three aims: (1) to describe the frequency, gender differences, and agreement in couples’ reports of male-to-female and female-to-male intimate partner violence (IPV) reported by male veterans and their female partners who were seeking couples therapy; (2) to describe the pat
An examination of intimate partner violence and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 100 Veteran couples that included both partners' reports was conducted.

This study examined whether perpetrator characteristics (i.e., gender and age) and characteristics of intimate partner maltreatment incident (i.e., intensity of event) were related to intimate partner maltreatment recidivism.
Objective: Empirically based couple therapy results in significant improvements in relationship satisfaction for the average couple; however, further research is needed to identify mediators that lead to change and to ensure that improvements in mediators predict subsequentÑnot just concurrentÑre
