Abstract
The chapters in this volume are a result of the 2011 International Research Symposium on Military Families, a joint effort of the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University and the Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. The symposium was organized into four half-day sessions, respectively focusing on marital and family functioning, parenting and child outcomes, single service members, and family sequelae of wounds and injuries. Each session comprised a series of scholarly presentations and an extended period of structured discussion during which working groups considered research and training priorities for the future. Following the discussions, symposium participants were asked to endorse what they saw as the highest priorities for future research and training. In this chapter, we review the key points presented during each session and present the results of each structured discussion.
