When a partner returns from war, you may feel an array of emotions, and as happy as you are for their return, it may be difficult to readjust to life together. In Coming Back Together, a clinical research psychologist presents the first relationship book addressed to the partners of combat veterans who have returned home and are reintegrating back into the relationship and family. The book presents strategies that lead to successful reintegration and relationship improvement that the partner can benefit from even when the combat veteran is a reluctant partner in this process.
