Community Family Therapy with Military Families Experiencing Deployment

Abstract  

The length and frequency of deployments in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are associated with increased vulnerability
for both part- and full-time military families who stand to benefit from systems-oriented practice by marriage and family
therapists. Community Family Therapy (CFT) is a modality designed to promote resilience both within and beyond the four walls
of the therapy room, facilitate family connections in the community, and empower them for local leadership. The effects of
deployment on families are summarized and CFT principles are adapted as a framework for intervention with this population.
