Overview

How does the military really work? What issues are constants for military families, and what special stresses do they face? Counseling Military Families provides the best available overview of military life, including demographic information and examples of military family issues. Chapters focus on vital issues such as the unique circumstances of reservists, career service personnel, spouses, and children, and present treatment models and targeted interventions tailored for use with military families. Counseling Military Families provides clinicians with the tools they need to make a difference in the lives of families in transition, including those who may have an ingrained resistance to asking for help and who may be available for counseling for a relatively short period of time.

Praise for Counseling Military Families

"Lynn Hall has done it again! When Counseling Military Families was published, many of us considered it to be the definitive guide for conducting therapy with military families in the early 21st century. With the release of the updated edition, I am certain that this book will remain the benchmark for clinical work with military families for the decade to come!

--R. Blaine Everson, PhD, LMFT, coeditor of Families Under Fire: Systemic Therapy with Military Families

Military families have endured multiple and long deployments of their loved ones since 2002. This book discusses the culture, stressors, stress reactions, and best practices for the assessment and treatment of military families. I recommend it to anyone who wants to help these families effectively.
