  • Karre, J. K., Perkins, D. F., & Aronson, K. R. (2018). Research on fathers in the military context: Current status and future directions. Journal of Family Theory & Review, 10, 641-656. http://10.1111/jftr.12274
  • The authors conducted a review to examine the state of the literature on fathering in the military and summarized the findings of 83 peer-reviewed journal articles. Articles were located in journals in family studies, medicine, military studies, psychiatry, psychology, psychopharmacology, nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and sociology. All articles were published between 1942 and 2015 and discussed a variety of variables related to fathering in the military (e.g., posttraumatic stress, parenting behaviors). Although most articles focused on the shortcomings or deficits of military fathers, this review found that in more recent years, a strengths-based perspective has been utilized.
