Abstract
Objective: Repeated exposure to traumatic events has consistently been shown to negatively impact mental health functioning; however, the role of timing of such events has received less attention. The present study evaluated the role of trauma that has occurred prior to military service, during service, and across both points in contributing to the most common and deleterious mental health concerns experienced by military personnel: posttraumatic stress, depression, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that individuals with history of trauma prior to military service are at increased risk for developing clinically significant mental health problems if exposed to additional potentially traumatic experiences. Further, other unwanted sexual experiences appear to be particularly detrimental to mental health functioning.

Abstract
This chapter begins with a consideration of the evolving context of treatment outcome
research in couple and family therapy. It presents an integrative conceptual model
of relational, psychological, and physical health outcomes that are common targets
in current work in couple and family-based interventions. For ease of communication,
it focuses primarily on couple therapy throughout the chapter, as very similar issues
are relevant for both couple and family therapy research.
