Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This book has two main aims: firstly, to provide a rare, detailed description of the use of a psychoanalytically informed, reflexive research method to achieve an in-depth understanding of social phenomena and, secondly, to throw some much needed light onto the complex, intrapsychic, and interpersonal influences that impact upon “military wives” who accompany members of the British Armed Forces to postings overseas. These arguments are particularly relevant at a time when the military is over-stretched, given that unhappy wives can adversely affect the retention of servicemen. This book is an important contribution to the on-going development of psycho-social studies.
