Hello, I have recently had a book entitled “Counseling Military Families” published by Routledge Publishing. It was my attempt to pull together in one place important information for civilian counselors who wish to work with military families. I am hoping it will be of use to a lot of mental health professionals.

This book is really informative and useful.I have been using it frequently to plan workshops and do course research. It is well written, and the studies are up to date and pertinent. I have a good friend who is a 20 year Marine corps wife, and when I ask her about parts that I read, she affirms them with her own experiences.
This book should be on everyone’s bookshelf - and I am not the author!
