Abstract:
War and Family Life is the latest in Springer's Risk and Resilience in Military and Veteran Families series, which also includes Military Deployment and Its Consequences for Families (Wadsworth & Riggs, 2013), Parenting and Children's Resilience in Military Families: A 21st Century Perspective (Gewirtz & Youssef, 2016), and A Battle Plan for Supporting Military Families: Lessons for the Leaders of Tomorrow (Hughes‐Kirchubel, Wadsworth, & Riggs, 2018). Helmed by editors Shelley MacDermid Wadsworth and David S. Riggs, War and Family Life emerged from discussions that began in 2013 at the fourth International Research Symposium on Military and Veteran Families, organized through the partnership of the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University and the Center for Deployment Psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. This book expressly moves beyond the descriptive state of military family research to tease apart the multiple, complex, and intersecting factors at play in the daily lives of military families. Drawing on the expertise of contributors, primarily from the United States, this volume also includes a few chapters authored by researchers in Australia, Canada, and Israel to delve into outcomes for military and veteran families during and after armed conflicts from an international perspective. The book is also multidisciplinary, mostly representing varied clinical and research psychology subject‐matter experts while also giving voice to individuals from disciplines including economics, family studies, sociology, and psychiatry.
