Deployment has well documented psychological consequences for military personnel. To fully understand the human cost of war, the psychosocial impact of separation and homecoming of military personnel on their families must also be considered. Recent arduous conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan make understanding the impact of war on spouses topical and pertinent. Widespread psychological morbidity and social dysfunction have been reported in spouses of military personnel who have been deployed to combat zones such as Vietnam, with difficulties most acute for spouses of military personnel with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A review of the literature published between 2001 and 2010 assessing the impact of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan on spouses of military personnel was conducted. A total of 14 US-based studies were identified which examined psychological morbidity, help seeking, marital dysfunction and stress in spouses. Longer deployments, deployment extensions and PTSD in military personnel were found to be associated with psychological problems for the spouse. Methodological differences in the studies limit direct comparisons. Recommendations for future research are outlined. The needs of spouses of military personnel remain an important issue with implications for service provision and occupational capability of both partners.

“…One study of N =101 Veterans found that 67% of younger men (age ≤ 40 years) reported physically hurting the woman they lived with compared to 43% of older men (age >40) χ 2 (l, 101) = 5.68, p < .02 (Petrik et al, 1983). With respect to personality traits, Veterans who scored higher on measures of dominance and isolation were more likely to be sexually, rather than non-sexually, aggressive (Teten, Schumacher, Bailey, & Kent, 2009). Group-level attitudes during military service may be predictors of intimate partner violence and include lower perception of support from leaders and chain of command, a culture of hypermasculinity (i.e., having degrading conversation about women with fellow troops), and lower recognition of and provision for needs of spouses (Rosen, Kaminski, Parmley, Knudson, & Fancher, 2003).…”

“…Further, more severe PTSD symptoms are related to a higher frequency of violent behavior (Orcutt et al, 2003). With regard to specific types of violence, PTSD diagnoses did not differ for sexually aggressive versus nonsexually aggressive Veterans (Teten, Schumacher, Bailey, & Kent, 2009) but were more prevalent among Veterans in mutually violent couples (Teten, Sherman, & Han, 2009). …”

“…Alcohol problems (Fonseca et al, 2006; Hurlbert, Whittaker, & Munoz, 1991; Merrill, Crouch, Thomsen, & Guimond, 2004; Merrill et al, 1996; Rosen et al, 2003), drug abuse-dependence (Taft et al, 2005), and general substance abuse (Mollerstrom, Patchner, & Milner, 1992; Rothschild, Dimson, Storaasli, & Clapp, 1997; Teten, Schumacher, Bailey, & Kent, 2009) are also related to intimate partner violence and sexual aggression in Veterans and military service members. Higher quantity drinking behavior has been related to intimate partner violence in its own right, but combined with the PTSD hyperarousal symptoms, frequent, low-quantity alcohol use may actually lower the Veteran’s risk of violence (Savarese, Suvak, King, & King, 2001).…”

Improving risk assessment of violence among military Veterans: An evidence-based approach for clinical decision-making

Despite increased media attention on violent acts against others committed by military Veterans, few models have been developed to systematically guide violence risk assessment among Veterans. Ideally, a model would identify which Veterans are most at risk for violence and increased attention could then be turned to determining what could be done to prevent violent behavior. This article suggests how empirical approaches to risk assessment used successfully in civilian populations can be applied to Veterans. A review was conducted of the scientific literature on Veteran populations regarding factors related to interpersonal violence generally and to domestic violence specifically. A list was then generated of empirically-supported risk factors for clinicians to consider in practice. To conceptualize how these known risk factors relate to a Veteran's violence potential, risk assessment scholarship was utilized to develop an evidencebased method to guide mental health professionals. The goals of this approach are to integrate science into practice, overcome logistical barriers, and permit more effective assessment, monitoring, and management of violence risk for clinicians working with Veterans, both in Veteran Administration settings and in the broader community. It is likely that the use of a systematic, empirical framework could lead to improved clinical decision-making in the area of risk assessment, and help reduce violence among Veterans.

“…This broad definition of dominance is important since many studies on a possible relationship between dominance and sexual aggression have focused on more specific aspects of dominance. For example, some studies emphasized the motive to have sex in order to feel powerful or in control (Brousseau, Hebert, & Bergeron, 2012;Wheeler, George, & Dahl, 2002) while others investigated direct dominance over the female partner in the sense of isolating the woman from social resources and the demand for subservience (Gage, 2005;Teten, Schumacher, Bailey, & Kent, 2009). These more specific, often sex-related, concepts of dominance might be seen as parts of hostile masculinity rather than general dominance in the sense of instrumentality (Abbey, Parkhill, BeShears, Clinton-Sherrod, & Zawacki, 2006).…”

On the role of dominance and nurturance in the confluence model: A person‐centered approach to the prediction of sexual aggression

Malamuth's (1998) confluence model holds that the combination of hostile masculinity, impersonal sexuality, and the constellation of high dominance and low nurturance plays a crucial role in explaining men's sexual aggression against women. Most studies on the confluence model concentrate on hostile masculinity and impersonal sexuality rather than dominance and nurturance. Using a person-centered approach, we investigated whether sexual aggressive men could be better identified in a sample of 692 men when not only hostile masculinity and impersonal sexuality but also dominance and nurturance were used as indicators in a latent profile analysis. Regardless of whether dominance and nurturance were considered or not, latent profile analyses revealed a high-risk group, which showed higher sexual aggression than other groups. In both cases, the sensitivity (i.e., the proportion of sexually aggressive men correctly assigned to the high-risk group) was low (33% and 31%, respectively) but increased substantially for the identification of severe sexual aggression. The positive prediction value, however, increased from 68% to 78% when dominance and nurturance were considered as predictor variables in addition to hostile masculinity and impersonal sexuality, indicating that more men assigned to the high-risk group were indeed sexually aggressive. These results demonstrate the power of the confluence model for identifying sexually aggressive men from a person-centered perspective. They also point to the necessity of expanding this perspective by considering further (e.g., situational) risk factors, which have previously been identified as predicting sexually aggressive behavior in men.
