Supporting Military Parent and Child Adjustment to Deployments and Separations With Filial Therapy

摘要

Parental deployment can have a significant impact on children's psychological, behavioral, and physical well-being. Although most children are resilient, researchers agree that long periods of separation might be a significant source of stress for parents and children in military families. This paper provides a review of the literature of the effects of parental military deployment on child well-being and the parent-child relationship. The authors examine several major parent-child interventions implemented nation-wide during the past five years and provide a rationale for the use of filial therapy, an empirically validated intervention, with military parents and children.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01926187.2010.531647
