Abstract
AbstractClinical experience and research with veterans of the Second World War and subsequent military conflicts have demonstrated the longstanding nature of combat‐related post‐traumatic stress disorder and the reverberating effects upon the families of traumatized individuals. The consequences of combat trauma during various stages of family life are discussed. Specifically, the impact upon (a) courtship and mate selection, (b) marriage, (c) childbirth and childrearing, (d) marriage in mid‐life, (e) children leaving home, and (f) retirement in late life are reviewed. Finally, clinical considerations for the practice of family psychotherapy in this area are presented.
