Abstract: | Families who experience the deployment of their military member are exposed to unique stressors, are able to take advantage of military specific resources for support and coping, and experience a wide range of adaptational outcomes, from growth and resilience to dysfunction and disintegration. This article applies McCubbin's Family Resilience Model to the unique demands of each of the three phases in the military deployment cycle. |
