American Military Life in the 21st Century
ABC-CLIO
978-1-4408-5518-4 (ISBN)
This reference work provides detailed information on the issues U.S. service members face both stateside and during deployments overseas. Issues covered include relations with family; substance use; housing; educational and job training opportunities; post-traumatic stress disorder and other health issues; and experiences of women, sexual minorities, and ethnic/racial minorities in the armed services.
This set also examines major issues related to military service for people close to the men and women who serve our country, such as spouses or partners, children, and parents grappling with such issues as single parenthood during deployment and bereavement at the loss of a loved one. Finally, this set is a valuable resource for people seeking a greater understanding of the issues that confront some military service members and veterans, from chronic health problems to economic vulnerability to suicide to incarceration. The two volumes are written in a comprehensive yet succinct and accessible style by experts familiar with the latest trends and findings.
Eugenia L. Weiss, PsyD, LCSW, is clinical associate professor and a senior associate dean of faculty affairs at the University of Southern California's Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, and a proud Army mom. Carl Andrew Castro, PhD, is associate professor and director of the Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families at the University of Southern California's Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work.
