[4.3] Article Critique Assignment – Jordan C. Rigel I. Title of Article - Families in Crisis: When the Veteran Returns Home II. Publication/Date - American Counseling Association/March 27, 2011 III. Author(s) - Judith R. Warchal, Paul L. West, Louise B. Graham, Steven B. Gerke, and Aaron J. Warchal IV. Summary and Analysis – The article was written by a team of both graduate students as well as Professors and counselors in an effort to review the changes and impact nearly a decade of continued warfare in the Middle East, post-9/11, has had on the families and loved one of veterans and other government personnel. The article begins by providing a brief review of events, the difference between active duty versus reservist families, and the increased about of school counselors having to adjust their methods for attending to needs of children of deployed parents more than ever before. The first key point provides statistics on the culture of an ‘average’ family and the trials they go through, leading off on the increased divorce rates, the in-processing system when joining the military, and the inevitable long periods of time away from home either during deployment or at a duty station. The next section describes how the family of a veteran killed in action can experience dramatic changes in lifestyle, as the loved one who brought them into the world of military life is gone, and they may experience hardship – The constant threat and understanding for any one is that death is a possibility and living life to the fullest is a must. The second key point homes in on marriage cycles and defines how “Polytraumatic injuries involving intensive treatment of both physical and psychological conditions make the transition from active duty to veteran much more difficult” – Infidelity, Isolation, and discomfort from a change in routine is hard enough for anyone to go through, but is much more rampant in military homes, if not carefully monitored. Children can also lash out, resulting in disruptive or aggressive behavior in a way for attention, or to cope with parents always fighting or being at odds with one another. Even in young children, the condition of survivor’s guilt is possible if they had a strong attachment to a deployed parent who has passed away. The final point, overviews several intervention skills that have proven effective in rent trials, such as bringing in a counselor to the home for the entire family Triangulation is another variant, the involvement of a third party in a two- person system for the purpose of reducing tension, most often used when having to rewrite the House Rules, after a change. The REACH program (Reaching out to Educate and Assist Caring, Healthy Families), is available at a growing number of VA clinics and support groups, for those who qualify. “The program focused on psychoeducation and strengthening family relations. While participants were very satisfied with the program” similar to the Resiliency program used in active duty but modified for a more domestic environment. The article concludes by hitting each major point again, and how families are probably the best resource and commodity for a soldier coming home. New research is being conducted each year to pinpoint better way to help, but it will take time and effort, from the organizations like the APA, the soldier, their family, and the country we all serve.
