Abstract Created by REACH
While many Veterans experience reintegration without major problems, a sizable portion struggle with difficulties, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), during the transition back to their families and communities following deployment. This study is a qualitative investigation of Veterans with PTSD or TBI and their significant others' perceptions of family functioning. Findings indicate that deployment led to changes in family functioning that persisted for years following reintegration.
