Life experiences relating to mobility and deployment may intersect with mainstream school cultures and affect the progress of military students. How K–12 teachers of military students construe and negotiate these intersections has not yet been substantively considered.
Educators from elementary schools near large military installations participated in focus groups and interviews and completed questionnaires regarding the knowledge, skills, and dispositions teachers perceive as being critical for supporting military students’ academic and social development.
Previous military family research has assumed a stable set of deployment phases. In line with critiques of such models within family communication, we identified the varied turning points and trajectories military spouses experience across deployment.
Retrospective interviews were conducted with Army and Army National Guard wives to identify turning points and trajectories of marital satisfaction across the deployment cycle.
Objective: Women veterans have a higher prevalence of chronic pain relative to men. One hypothesis is that differential combat and traumatic sexual experiences and attenuated levels of social support between men and women may differentially contribute to the development and perpetuation of pain.
Social support variables and traumatic experiences were examined as predictors of pain outcomes in a group of EF/OIF/OND Veterans experiencing chronic pain, with particular attention to whether these relationships differed between men and women.
Relationships are increasingly impacted by military involvement, necessitating a deeper understanding of communication within these couples.
Partners of civilian and military members participated in a survey to understand communication difference among military and civilian couples.
One of therapists’ contemporary moral imperatives is to support American service members and their families regardless of personal position on the Global War on Terrorism.
