“…All were married or engaged to be married to an OIF/OEF veteran (although one interviewee was not married but engaged, throughout this article we refer to all the veterans and women as "spouse(s)" or "husband" and "wife"). Interviewees had a mean age of 29.7 years (range [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], and the veterans they cared for had a mean age of 34.6 years (range .

Abstract-Family members play an important role in the physical and mental recovery of soldiers returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with strained marital and family relations and parenting difficulties, and many veterans with PTSD experience difficulty finding and maintaining employment. Family members who assist with the veteran's recovery also experience significant strain and may have to leave employment to care for the veteran. Our objective was to identify appropriate assessment measures for examining the well-being of spouses assisting with veterans' recovery and to identify opportunities for supporting veterans' spouses. We used a combination of expert panel input and qualitative methods (focus group interviews) to develop a battery of instruments for use in future research with OIF/OEF family members to examine well-being. Research is needed to elucidate and refine the special needs and issues surrounding PTSD in current and future OIF/OEF veterans and their families. This study provides a first step toward understanding appropriate measures. Expert panel methods and focus group interviews yielded valuable input on the domains and measures that should be included in the assessment battery as well as opportunities for assisting spouses.

“…For example, 33 percent of veterans with PTSD committed intimate partner violence compared with 13.5 percent of veterans who did not have PTSD [11]. Intimate partner violence has been related to poor family functioning and behavioral problems and social dysfunction in children [22,[33][34].…”

“…Other research, however, suggests that the effects of combat exposure on family functioning are almost entirely mediated by PTSD (Caselli and Motta 1995). Similarly, in their systematic review of factors associated with intimate partner violence in service members and veterans, Marshall et al (2005) found that although exposure to combat was associated with intimate partner violence, much of this association was accounted for by PTSD.…”

“…Father's PTSD symptom severity level only slightly mediated the relationship between father's participation in abusive violence and child behavior problems (Rosenheck and Fontana 1998). Similarly, in their systematic review of factors associated with intimate partner violence in service members and veterans, Marshall et al (2005) found that specific combat experiences, including the level of perceived threat, exposure to atrocities, and participation in killing, have been directly associated with later intimate partner violence, even in veterans with PTSD.…”

The deployment of US military personnel to recent conflicts has been a significant stressor for their families; yet, we know relatively little about the long-term family effects of these deployments. Using data from prior military service eras, we review our current understanding of the long-term functioning and needs of military families. These data suggest that overseas deployment, exposure to combat, experiencing or participating in violence during war deployment, service member injury or disability, and combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) all have profound impacts on the functioning of military families. We offer several recommendations to address these impacts such as the provision of family-centered, trauma-informed resources to families of veterans with PTSD and veterans who experienced high levels of combat and war violence. Recent efforts to address the needs of caregivers of veterans should be evaluated and expanded, as necessary. We should also help military families plan for predictable life events likely to challenge their resilience and coping capacities. Future research should focus on the following: factors that mediate the relationship between PTSD, war atrocities, caregiver burden, and family dysfunction; effective family-centered interventions that can be scaled-up to meet the needs of a dispersed population; and system-level innovations necessary to ensure adequate access to these interventions.

Treating Anger and Aggression in Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Anger and aggression are common problems for military populations, particularly veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Excessive anger is a key predictor of PTSD symptom severity and treatment outcomes. Dysregulated anger impacts other clinical factors, including interpersonal functioning, physical health problems, alcohol misuse, increased healthcare costs, and legal issues. Explanatory models to account for the strong relationship between anger and PTSD have been proposed in the research. PTSD‐related anger is posited to be distinct from other forms of problematic anger in terms of its causal and maintaining factors. Cognitive–behavioral treatment for anger management and trauma‐focused treatments, which include intervention strategies aligned with hypothesized anger regulation deficits, have been found to be effective in reducing anger symptoms. Clinical issues that it is important to address when treating veterans with anger problems include the assessment of risk for violence, common co‐occurring difficulties, treatment engagement, and ethnocultural and military cultural considerations.
