The homecoming period following combat deployment can be as stressful to military spouses as the deployment itself.

Army wives participated in a study to examine whether personal resources (e.g., adaptive coping, maladaptive coping, and resilience) plays an important role in the relationship between positive emotions and depressive symptoms following a reunion after deployment.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted to examine risk and protective factors for combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms reported by soldiers (n = 2,583) at postdeployment.

Active Duty Army soldiers participated in pre- and post-deployment screenings.

This study examined the association between symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in male Vietnam veterans and their use of aggressive behavior in relationships with intimate female partners. Fifty couples participated in the study.

Vietnam Veterans and their female cohabitating partners participated in a study examining the associations between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and perpetration of aggressive behavior toward their female partners.

This study examined 1,064 Army families reunited after a member's deployment for Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Postdeployment outcomes were conceptualized in terms of the “fit” between the family and the demands of Army life, especially the stress of deployment.

Survey data were used to examine post-deployment coping on internal (e.g., communication, marital quality, child rearing) and external (families response to work-life interference and willingness to make accommodations for these demands) outcome of Army families reunited after a member's dep

Research traditionally has focused on the development of individual symptoms in those who experienced trauma directly but has overlooked the interpersonal impact of trauma.

Male Soldiers and their wives/partners completed self-report questionnaires shortly after the Soldier’s return from an Iraq or Afghanistan deployment. This study explored the relationship between combat-related traumatic stress and relationship satisfaction.
