Finley EP, Pugh MJ, Jeffreys M. Talking, love, time: Two case studies of positive post-deployment coping in military families. Journal of Family Life. [Website]. 2010 Jan 10.




Abstract:

American military families face one set of challenges when the service member goes off to serve in a war zone, and another when the member returns home to face the task of re-establishing relationships that may have been changed or damaged by long separations. Examining two case studies collected as part of a larger mixed-methods study conducted among veterans and their families in San Antonio, Texas, this paper examines coping strategies used by military couples working to manage health and relationship problems in the wake of recent deployments to Iraq.
