Description/Abstract
This IVMF research brief delves into the challenges veterans confront when moving from military to civilian life, where stark cultural disparities exist. These veterans often grapple with fulfilling fundamental psychological needs such as structure and belonging, compounded by civilian reliance on stereotypes. The brief integrates diverse disciplines like social psychology and military psychology, using theories like compensatory control to dissect the psychological obstacles faced by veterans. Recent research within this framework sheds light on these issues, offering valuable insights for clinicians and managers to develop tailored interventions. Emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches, this research brief highlights the significance of understanding and supporting transitioning veterans, with implications for practice, policy, and future research.
