The authors examine the relationship between specific posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and interpersonal aggression (verbal, psychological, and physical) among male Veterans completing a residential PTSD treatment program.
An exploratory study of rates and psychosocial risk factors (e.g., prenatal anxiety and depression, low self-esteem life stress, etc.) of postpartum depression in the military was conducted at Wilford Hall Medical Center with active duty women Service members.
Female members of National Guard and Reserve units participated in semi-structured interviews exploring their postdeployment family reintegration experience.
U.S. Army Soldiers survey data was used to assess the relationship between combat experiences and risk-taking propensity and behaviors.
Researchers adapted the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP) to include concepts and activities specific to mindfulness and mindful parenting (e.g., listening with full attention, emotional awareness of self and child).
Male National Guard/Reserve Service members and their female spouses participated in a study examining partner perceived burden (spousal perceptions of negative life change due to their Service member's mental health concerns) in relation to Service members' mental health problems.
Children and adolescents of National Guard members who recently returned from deployment participated in the Passport Towards Success (PTS) program, which teaches youth strategies for effective coping, problem-solving, and emotional expression.
Civilian wives married to U.S. Army Active Duty husbands completed questionnaires to explore the impact of attributions of their spouses' posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and combat exposure on marital satisfaction.
Associations between length of deployment, parenting stress, family coping, and sense of coherence on contentment among Army spouses of deployed Service members were explored. Coherence was defined as perception of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness in daily life.
Exposure of one parent to combat, reintegration, and further deployment is hypothesized to impair parenting by influencing parents' emotion regulation capacities.
