The Clinical Deployment of Therapeutic Frameworks and Genogram Questions to Serve the Servicewoman

Abstract

Female United States armed services members are among the fastest and most steadily growing in military membership. Despite such advancement, little attention has been accorded to the individual servicewoman, as well as her family, by the marriage/couple and family therapy field. To attend to this identified gap, provided is an overview of the story of women in the military, as well as information on the prevalence of female personnel. Also identified are some of the common problem areas that servicewomen and their families' experience, as well as suggested frameworks and related focused genogram questions for use with such problems and clientele. Future areas worthy of greater scholarly attention are also considered.
