MFT 682 - Military Trauma and the Family

2 Credit(s)

This course will prepare graduate level students to understand the culture of the military and its impact on family life and trauma. The course will focus on trauma informed sills in order to address both the physical wounds from combat injuries and the complications of the invisible wounds military personnel carry with them; PTSD, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, suicide, sexual assault, traumatic brain injury, and health related issues. The communities and families that veterans return to will be examined with special attention given to understanding family dynamics from the pre-deployment phase, the separation during deployment phase, and the returning from deployment adjustment phase. Prerequisite(s): MFT 535, MFT 671, and MFT 673
