Jeni Ruth Hunniecutt: Rethinking Reintegration and Veteran Identity, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book analyzes and discusses the U. S. Military Veteran identity. Throughout seven chapters spanning narrative, literature, theory and analysis, the book combines the author¿s own personal story of joining, serving in, and separating from the U. S. military with corresponding research about military transitions, reintegration, Veteran suicides, and psychosocial adjustment challenges. The purpose of the book is to help readers understand Veteran identity in a way that centers the social implications of belonging to and serving in the military institution. In the final chapters of the book, existing theories and models related to military transitions are dissected before a new Model of Veteran Identity Hierarchy as well as a reconceptualization of Veteran identity are presented.
