The authors surveyed 47 midwestern Vietnam war veterans about their war experiences, current lives, and perspectives of their families at this time. Results indicated significant associations between combat exposure and the development of psychological impairment as well as associations between psychological impairment and family environment and satisfaction. No significant associations were found between combat exposure and family environment or satisfaction. Results suggest the need for increased interventions at a family level for survivors of war trauma. Implications for counselors are discussed.

Family Mental Health

This is an autoethnography of World War II (WW2) survival and trauma based on a recovered family archive and a reflexive engagement with my own childhood memories. Driven by subjective imperatives to bear witness to forgotten war experiences, and to explore family mental health problems, I delve into not just personal memories but forgotten voices found in the archive whose stories have never been told thus offering a perspective of multiple subjects. My grandmother’s witness testimony of concentration camp survival recorded in 1946 compels me to research and reflect on life in the state of exception and the long-term and intergenerational impact on survivors. This autoethnographic work helps me examine the character of survival of war trauma as a form of exclusion from community and often an incomplete return from bare life to polis. Through engaging with the archive, I find some partial answers to questions about my family members, and reconstruct my family memory narrative.
