DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Third Edition of Family Stress Management by Pauline Boss, Chalandra M. Bryant, and Jay A. Mancini continues its original commitment to recognize both the external and internal contexts in which distressed families find themselves. With its hallmark Contextual Model of Family Stress (CMFS), the Third Edition provides practitioners and researchers with a useful framework to understand and help distressed individuals, couples, and families. The example of a universal stressor—a death in the family—highlights cultural differences in ways of coping. Throughout, there is new emphasis on diversity and the nuances of family stress management—such as ambiguous loss—plus new discussions on family resilience and community as resources for support.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →As provider networks on military bases are overwhelmed with new cases, civilian clinicians are increasingly likely to treat military families. However, these clinicians do not receive the same military mental-healthcare training as providers on military installations, adding strain to clinicians’ workloads and creating gaps in levels of treatment. Families Under Fire fills these gaps with real-world examples, clear, concise prose, and nuts-and-bolts approaches for working with military families utilizing a systems-based practice that is effective regardless of branch of service or the practitioner’s therapeutic preference. Any civilian mental-health practitioner who wants to understand the diverse needs of military personnel, their spouses, and their families will rely on this indispensable guidebook for years to come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The family is perhaps the most important single institution in everyone’s life. What happens in such an intense group? How does it develop over time? What happens when stress is placed upon it, whether generated from inside or outside the family? Originally published in 1975, when the late Tony Manocchio was one of the leading practitioners of family therapy in Britain and Scandinavia, this title, written with his colleague William Petitt, is a lively study of communication within families, revealing the universal problems common to all. The authors demonstrate and illuminate the application of communication principles by analysing healthy and ‘unhealthy’ family systems in six major plays – The Winslow Boy, Riders to the Sea, Hamlet, A Long Day’s Journey into Night, Death of a Salesman and A Delicate Balance. As part of this analysis they examine the difficulties family members have in allowing for differences, in sharing secrets and the ease with which a whole family can scapegoat a single member. They give a number of short case histories and examples from other plays which further illustrate the importance of communicating clearly. The book will still be of value to all those interested in the uses of family therapy, and also to students of literature for the human insight it offers into the texts discussed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Recent demands on the military have raised concerns about the impact of extended deployments on military marriages. To evaluate this impact, the authors draw on marital status data in service personnel records to estimate trends in marriage and marital dissolution between 1996 and 2005 and the specific effects of time deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq on subsequent risk of ending a marriage. The results generally run counter to expectations. Although rates of marital dissolution have increased since 2001 for most services and components, they had declined in the five years prior to 2001. As a result, marital dissolution rates across the services and components are currently similar to those observed in 1996, when the demands on the military were measurably lower. In most cases, service members who were deployed had a lower risk of subsequently ending their marriages than service members who did not deploy or deployed fewer days.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Life seems to move at a much faster pace these days; and family stability is coming under increasing pressure from a variety of economic, educational, and emotional factors. The Bible can be helpful in eyeopening ways for people concerned about families who are trying to cope with the stresses of life together today. In this book you will find a helpful collection of Scripture passages that speak clearly and forcefully to families dealing with difficult conditions. These passages reflect Jesus’ teaching that God’s kingdom comes into our lives, not in those times when everything seems rosy, but precisely when everything seems to be falling apart. As you read these passages you will be reminded that God’s powerful presence may always be counted on, especially at those points in life where people feel the most pressing need and anguish. The passages assembled in this booklet start at the Bible’s beginning in Genesis and end at the Bible’s conclusion in the book of Revelation. Together, they remind families living in stressful times of how God created us and of God’s final promises that await us. Some passages are related to the unexpected changes that occur in our lives, some illustrate different kinds of families, and some help us to see God’s direction for renewal of family life· A final group of passages helps us see how God welcomes us all through Christ, and how we can all enjoy our membership in God’s family. So, read and rejoice that God believes in you and can be counted on to stand by you and everyone in your family in times of difficulty.
