Families Under Fire is an indispensable guidebook designed for the broad spectrum of civilian mental-health practitioners who work with military personnel, their spouses, and their families. Civilian practitioners do not receive the same military mental healthcare training as providers on military installations, yet they are increasingly likely to treat families as provider networks on military bases are overwhelmed with new cases.Using clear, concise prose and real-world examples, Families Under Fire lays out nuts-and-bolts approaches to work with military families utilizing a systems-based practice that is effective regardless of branch of service or the practitioner's therapeutic preference, and it is a vital addition to the library of any therapist interested in working effectively with the diverse needs of servicemembers and their families.
