Abstract	:	The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of Veterans Affairs clinicians regarding psychosocial needs of families of Iraq war veterans. Using a qualitative approach, this study explored how these issues were addressed in the clinical setting, what were the unique treatment issues faced by this population, and what barriers to care existed. The sample consisted of 12 clinicians. Results found that over half of the respondents reported the returning veteran's reintegration into the family was the most pressing psychosocial issue affecting the family system. Within that family reintegration component, the most problematic issue for families was the changes in the veteran upon his or her return home from combat. The majority of respondents reported that a lack of available mental health care for families was one of the main barriers to addressing the psychosocial needs of Iraq war veterans. Implications for social work practice and research are discussed.
