Combat Veteran Mental Health Outcomes After Short-Term Counseling Services
Combat veterans suffer from elevated rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and generalized anxiety relative to the general population and other non-deployed veterans. Furthermore, many studies are currently evaluating the efficacy of interventions (e.g., cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure) with samples of combat veterans seeking mental health treatment at the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the US Departme…
Preliminary efficacy of the Public Safety Employees Treatment Court (PSETC)
This initial study of the PSETC demonstrates that it is efficacious and provides a template for other jurisdictions seeking to start their own program. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

Affective Depression Mediates PTSD to Suicide in Sample of Post-9/11 Combat Veterans
Combat veterans are at high risk for suicide; consequently, it is paramount to examine factors that may relate to lower levels of suicide among this population. This study examined if somatic depression or affective depression symptoms mediate the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidal behaviors in a treatment-seeking sample of post-9/11 combat veterans. Fluid Vulnerability Theory was utilized as a theoretical fram…
Military Spouse Mental Health Outcomes After Receiving Short-Term Counseling Services
Research related to military spouses accessing community-based mental health care is limited. Evaluations identifying outcomes of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and resilience are scant. In this study, 71 military partners and spouses (age M = 39.79, SD = 11.32; 97.2% women) receiving counseling services at a nonprofit agency completed self-report measures of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and resilience pre–post a 6-week intervention. Less depress…
Needs Assessment of Surviving Military Families
There is limited empirical data to account for the mental health and parent-child relationship outcomes among bereaved military families. The implementation of appropriate programs and mental health interventions depends on the study of relevant demographic and mental health constructs. We report the findings of a needs assessment conducted at a nonprofit organization serving bereaved military families, inclusive of 64 families, with adolescent c…
Factors Associated with Resilience among MSW Students in the Face of the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 continues to affect the general population, and its impact on MSW students is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to examine resilience, attachment, and other mental health constructs among MSW students during COVID-19. U.S. MSW program directors were emailed the electronic surveys to distribute to their MSW students. Authors evaluated the bivariate relationship between the variables and conducted a multiple hierarchical regression predi…
The Impact of Covid-19 on Veterans’ Resilience, Attachment, and Negative Affect
On March 13, 2020, the US issued an emergency declaration in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating increased domestic engagement of the military to mount the national public health response. The US military’s increased domestic health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the effects of its involvement in a 20-year war exacerbated by recent tensions around America’s exit from Afghanistan, has led to increased stress on our a…
Does Attachment Mediate PTSD and Suicidality in a Sample of Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Combat Veterans
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidality is a growing concern in the US due to the consistent rise in attempted and completed suicides in the veteran community. Consequently, continued scholarship to delve into the relationship between these two variables is imperative. This study used a sample of 65 treatment-seeking combat veterans who deployed in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). We conducted 12 PROCESS simple mediatio…
Attachment-Based Relationship Satisfaction in Deployed and Non-Deployed Military Veterans with Prevalent PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression
After almost two decades of war, unprecedented operational tempos have remained high for the American military. This has left those on the home front (non-deploying veterans) a little behind since scholarship has mostly focused on veterans who have deployed. This study used a voluntary treatment-seeking sample of veterans who have not deployed (n = 49) and veterans who have deployed (n = 68) to address this gap in the literature. This study exami…
The impact of Covid-19 on first responders' resilience and attachment
COVID-19 continues to have a deleterious impact on vulnerable populations in our society, and unfortunately, first responders are often overlooked in this conversation. To address that gap, we retrospectively compared routinely collected baseline assessment data from 69 treatment-seeking first responders who presented for treatment before COVID-19 to data collected from 75 similar first responders at the same agency during the pandemic. Data asse…
A Fireside Chat
This study asserts that communication between a committed dyad during a combat separation can positively and negatively affect post-deployment functioning. Recent research has delineated two different forms of communication: interactive and delayed. Communication is conceptualized in the three phases of the deployment cycle. To address theoretical gaps in the literature, I posit that attachment theory is the best orientation to explain dyadic com…
War-related Trauma
Studies have shown PTSD has a negative impact on close relationships among Vietnam War veterans. Recently, studies have replicated these findings in the Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) cohort. Currently, over half of the military is married and veterans are returning from combat with elevated rates of PTSD. Thus, investigating which symptom clusters influence marital satisfaction of the veteran the most is impor…
Internet-based Spousal Communication during Deployment
The purpose of this study was to explore the question: Is a service member's post-deployment marital satisfaction correlated with frequency and mode of communication during deployment? This study used an anonymous exploratory design with a sample of 119 Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) married veterans. Service members who communicated daily during deployment with their spouses had higher marital satisfaction scor…
