Abstract

In 2013, more than 70 leading clinicians, researchers and scholars from around the world participated in the fourth International Research Symposium on Military and Veteran Families. Organized by the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University, in partnership with the Center for Deployment Psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, the symposium combined presentations about current research and discussions to produce consensus proposals for future research and training priorities regarding military and veteran families. This chapter summarizes key points from each of the presentations as well as the consensus proposals regarding research and training.
