This book has two main aims: firstly, to provide a rare, detailed description of the use of a psychoanalytically informed, reflexive research method to achieve an in-depth understanding of social phenomena; and secondly, to throw some much needed light onto the complex, intrapsychic and interpersonal influences that impact upon "military wives" who accompany members of the British Armed Forces to postings overseas. These arguments are particularly relevant at a time when the military is over-stretched, given that unhappy wives can adversely affect the retention of servicemen. This is an important contribution to the on-going development of psycho-social studies.
Dr Sue Jervis originally worked as a civil servant before changing careers to become a psychodynamic counsellor. Her career within the counselling field was disrupted some years ago when she accompanied her husband, a Naval Officer, on his first overseas postings. Since then, she has become a psycho-social researcher.
