This thesis examines familial interactions and relationships between military veterans and their spouses and children after returning from foreign deployment. Although always an overly joyous occasion, post deployment is a transitional process that tends to strain the family system. Five Canadian Forces families were interviewed, fifteen participants in total. Through qualitative interviews, three superordinate themes emerged: Stressors and coping skills, family dynamics, and support networks. Communication with the military member during deployment plays an integral part in the transition back into the family. Communication patterns between family members are one of the determinants in the effectiveness of role and relationship negotiation during the reunion. The effectiveness of relationship renegotiation is also aided by the family’s support system. Informal and formal support networks are crucial in helping military families during and post deployment. However, the effectiveness of reintegration programs requires active consultation with military families in the design and implementation of these programs.

Der Arbeitskreis Militär und Gesellschaft in der Frühen Neuzeit e. V. wurde im Frühjahr 1995 gegründet. Er hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Erforschung des Militärs im Rahmen der frühneuzeitlichen Geschichte zu befördern und zugleich das Bewusstsein der Frühneuzeit-HistorikerInnen für die Bedeutung des Militärs in all seinen Funktionen zu wecken. Das Militär steht somit als soziale Gruppe selbst im Mittelpunkt der Aktivitäten des Arbeitskreises, wird aber auch in seinen Wirkungen und Repräsentationen thematisiert. Ziel ist es, die Rolle des Militärs als Teil der frühneuzeitlichen Gesellschaft umfassend herauszuarbeiten und zu würdigen. Insofern versteht der AMG seine Arbeit nicht nur als Beitrag zur Militärgeschichte, sondern vor allem als Beitrag zur Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit insgesamt. Der Arbeitskreis bietet ein Diskussions- und Informationsforum durch die Organisation von Tagungen, die Herausgabe der Schriftenreihe ‚Herrschaft und soziale Systeme in der Frühen Neuzeit‘, die Zeitschrift ‚Militär und Gesellschaft in der Frühen Neuzeit‘ und die Mailingliste mil-fnz.
